The authors conclude that microbial life is likely abundant in our galaxy and the Universe. Their arguments that this microbial life cannot evolve, are unconvincing. If life can develop, it can evolve. We do not know enough about other stars and their planets to conclude otherwise. Rest easy Science Fiction writers; the book misses its own most significant conclusion.
