The Book is called the search for life on other planets its a recent book,

the book does state the temperatures measured by Voyager as being 94K
but also that subsurface temperatures may be much warmer as the composition
of the moon is such that it cant be just a rocky world, also life is much
tougher than we imagined
only a few years ago, with such events as the bacteria coming back to life
after a long spell on our moon
on that camera they bought back.

ive been reading a book which has stated that there is a substantial
green
house effect on Titan
( similar to the Venus one but not so extream ) the upshot of which is
the
same though, a
warmer surface temperature than one would normally expect considering its
distance from
the sun, the authur was hinting that we cant rule out some type of
biological activity there.

What's the title and how old is the book?
Looking at "The New Solar System", Voyager 1 actually measured the
surface temperature and found a value of 94 Kelvin ( -180 Celsius).
Unless there's some really exotic chemistry you aren't going to get life
there.
