"Matrimony was ordained thirdly," said Jane Studdeck to herself, "for the mutual society, help, and comfort that the one ought to have of the other." (from the first line)
| The dark forces that have been repulsed in Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra are amassed for an assault on the planet Earth itself. A sinister technocratic organization is gaining force throughout Europe with a plan to "recondition" society, and it is up to Ransom and his friends to squelch this threat by applying age-old wisdom to a brave new universe dominated by science. The two groups struggle to a climactic resolution that brings the Space Trilogy to a magnificent, crashing close. |

Author Bio
C. S. Lewis
Clive Staples Lewis was educated in England, attending Oxford in 1917. World War I interrupted his studies and Lewis served in the trenches for two years. In 1919 he returned to Oxford, where he remained until 1954. An atheist, Lewis converted to Christianity in 1929, and spent his life pursuing many interests: his acclaimed Narnia books and a trilogy of space travel novels; books concerning religion; and an academic career in medieval and renaissance literature. In 1955, Lewis moved on to Magdalen College, Cambridge University; in 1956 he married Joy Davidman Gresham, who died in 1960. Lewis survived her by three years.
New Yorker
"In his usual polished prose, the author creates an elaborate satiric picture of a war between morality and devilry."
