Book Description:

Mars has fascinated humans for thousands of years. With the passing centuries, Mars has become steadily more familiar, and still we ask, "Might life also have arisen on Mars? Is there life on Mars today, whether little green men or even microbes?" If even one microbe is found on Mars, the context for life on Earth will be forever altered: we are not alone, but only one place that harbors life.
