Review
This is the first book to attempt a full account of NASA's August 1996 announcement that an ancient Martian meteorite discovered in Antarctica may contain evidence of extraterrestrial life. Goldsmith treads carefully, knowing full well that this purported finding could become the cold fusion phenomenon of the 1990s--bogus science that misleads the public. The book shows several signs of its hasty composition, but such is the price of beating the competition to market. Mars fans may also want to examine The Case for Mars by Robert Zubrin and Are We Alone? by Paul Davies.
