Summary

Given the fact that there are perhaps 400 billion stars in our galaxy alone and perhaps 400 billion galaxies in the universe, it stands to reason that somewhere out there, in the 14-billion-year-old cosmos, there is or once was a civilization at least as advanced as our own. The sheer enormity of the numbers almost demands that we accept the truth of this hypothesis. Why, then, have we encountered no evidence, no messages, no artifacts of these extraterrestrials?

I have found this book very informative on ET Life. I just happened to agree with the author that we may be the only technologically capable life form in the universe. Though life may be abundant in the universe, we are the only ones who ask the question, “Where is everybody?”

A great book.

Fascinating from start to finish. A brilliantly detailed study into science's biggest question. Every chapter examines a different angle and explores each given reason that has been offered in our attempts to explain Fermi's paradox. Anybody with even a passing interest in the possibility of alien life will thoroughly enjoy this. It obviously goes quite deeply into science and mathematics at times, but it's all explained simply enough that mere mortals like me could still understand the points being made. The narrator does an excellent job too. Highly recommended.

Why hasn't E.T phoned us? Here's 75 reasons.

This isn't some quick overview of the possibility of life on Mars so settle in for a long ride.
I'm no astrophysicist so on occasion some of the science was a bit beyond me but it doesn't dwell too long on formulas etc and soon gets back to the nitty gritty of is there anyone out there ...anyone ... anywhere.
I found it fascinating and as long as you aren't just after a load of UFO stories you should be ok as the writing style is casual and un-stuffy making a complicated subject more digestible.
Very well narrated too ... an engaging voice and cadence that made it easy to listen to.

Indepth!
