Summary:
This is the final book of C.S. Lewis's acclaimed Cosmic trilogy, which includes Out of the silent planet and Perelandra. In that Hideous strength, Dr. Ransom finds himself in a world of superior alien beings and scientific experiments run amok. He struggles with questions of ethics and morality, applying age-old wisdom to a brave new universe dominated by science. His quest for truth is a journey filled with intrigue and suspense. The book's attack on government indifference to ecology won it a new audience in the late 1960s.
