I've been sent the first two reviews of The Genesis Quest, from my US publishers the University of Chicago Press. I'm both excited and a bit bashful to share them. They made me go squee.

"Marshall has rounded up all the past and current thinking about this profound and puzzling question – how did life begin? – into a neat, enthralling and highly digestible package. He doesn't pretend we can answer the question, but does justice to all the key proposals so far. And if anything, his survey of potential solutions makes the appearance of life on Earth seem all the more astonishing as we examine the issue ever more closely." Philip Ball, author of How To Grow a Human
 
"Prepare yourself for a dazzling intellectual journey: the science is fascinating, the cast of characters all-too-human, and the philosophical insights deep. Written in clear and entertaining prose, like a Sherlock Holmes story, this is the best book I know for general readers about the quest to solve one of our most enduring mysteries: how and where, in a seemingly purposeless universe, life began on planet earth." Oren Harman, coeditor of Dreamers, Visionaries, and Revolutionaries in the Life Sciences and Outsider Scientists: Routes to Innovation in Biology
