520    "It is now known that we live in a galaxy with more 
       planets than stars. The Milky Way alone encompasses 30 
       trillion potential home planets. Scientists Trefil and 
       Summers bring readers on a marvelous experimental voyage 
       through the possibilities of life--unlike anything we have
       experienced so far--that could exist on planets outside 
       our own solar system. Life could be out there in many 
       forms: on frozen worlds, living in liquid oceans beneath 
       ice and communicating (and even battling) with bubbles; on
       super-dense planets, where they would have evolved body 
       types capable of dealing with extreme gravity; on tidally 
       locked planets with one side turned eternally toward a 
       star; and even on "rogue worlds," which have no star at 
       all. Yet this is no fictional flight of fancy: the authors
       take what we know about exoplanets and life on our own 
       world and use that data to hypothesize about how, where, 
       and which sorts of life might develop. Imagined Life is a 
       must-have for anyone wanting to learn how the realities of
       our universe may turn out to be far stranger than fiction"
