Nick Lane wrote some amazing popular science books on the history of mitochondria;

- Power, Sex, Suicide for a general overview and history of mitochondria (did you know that Lynn Margulis, main proponent of the endosymbiont theory, was once married to Carl Sagan?!?)

- The Vital Question on restraints on life due to the biochemistry of mitochondria

Both highly, highly recommended.

Every single one of his books is amazing and mind blowing. His latest "Transformers" on the krebb cycle is a must read if you're interested in the origins of life.
