Robert Hazen has written a great book IMHO titled "Genesis: The Scientific Quest For Life's Origin". This sums up some of his latest involvement in the hunt.
Very exciting.

“Years ago, speaking in a tone of subdued irony for my benefit, Donn Rosen, a curator of ichthyology at the American Museum of Natural History, wryly summarized what is involved: “Darwin said that speciation occurred too slowly for us to see it. Gould and Eldredge said it occurred too quickly for us to see it. Either way we don’t see it.”

the tinier a life organism is, the greater likelihood that it survives the least hospitable conditions for life

Very interesting, particularly in view of the lack of sedimentary rock that old.

Did the bacteria live on O2 or methane?

Are they sure the rock wasn’t 3.4 billion years old?
