"fascinating book their joint product has coherence and a smoothly flowing style (Dr. Sagan) is particularly adept at explaining scientific concepts for laymen an informative and entertaining dialogue In concept, scope, and execution, the book is as big as its subject its challenge to open thought to the immense possibilities of life in the universe is transcendent."

"I am overjoyed. Quite apart from the fact that you bring together in the space of a single clear and interesting volume all the latest facts bearing on the problem of life in the Universe, you have presented them with a light-heartedness that makes the book sheer pleasure .The brotherhood of science is a vital aspect of contemporary life and may offer one road to safety amid the dangers that press upon us. The mere existence of this book by two such authors under today's conditions is a triumph for those of us who cling to this hope."
—Isaac Asimov, Associate Professor of Biocfiemistry, Boston University Medical Scfiooi, and noted author of science fact and fiction
"The book is of extremely high quality. In particular, the subject matter is presented correctly, and with great clarity and balance; the style is excellent; and there is a satisfying accompaniment of philosophical insights. 1 doubt that any other authors in the world could have done as fine a job with this subject."
—Frank Drake, Director, Arecibo Ionospheric Observatory, and former director Project Ozma
"It is high time for a serious study of the possibilities of intelligence elsewhere. It is high time also for serious theoretical collaboration between the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R----That two people who have been so constructive in their complementary works should now succeed in joining forces is cause for international rejoicing. The group of subjects taken up is second to none in importance, and is of especial relevance to our space age."
— H.J. Muller, Nobel Laureate, and Distinguished Service Professor of Zoology, Indiana Universitv
"Imaginative, comprehensive, and generally sound scientifically." ; ^
