Title: Smart, funny, wise-an amazing book
Review: I got into Joel Achenbach's work years ago when I lived in Miami and he wrote for the paper there. He has an amazing ability to take complicated science and explain it with humor and excitement. Reading him is like going on an adventure with your smartest and funniest friend. I wanted to be one of the first to read his new book and I wasn't disappointed. If you want to understand the search for life in the universe, this is the book to read. Meet everyone from the purest scientists to the wackiest Ufologists. I can't decide whether my favorite character is the late, great Carl Sagan or the former lounge pianist, now in the employ of the Jet Propulsion Lab, who is trying to design a space sailboat with giant light sails propelled by the world's biggest laser. If you ever gaze into the night sky and wonder, you're going to love this book.
