Publisher's summary

C.S. Lewis’s allegorical sci-fi trilogy about a philology professor’s adventures on Mars, Venus and Earth

Featuring a reluctant hero’s extraordinary journey through the cosmos, C. S. Lewis’s classic trilogy contains all the magic, invention, humour and big ideas of his Narnia novels. Thrilling, mystical and evocative, it mixes theology and mythology to tell the epic story of an interplanetary struggle between good and evil. This audio collection includes Alex Jennings’ unabridged readings of Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra, and a stunning full-cast adaptation of That Hideous Strength.

Out of the Silent Planet – While out on a walk, Cambridge academic Dr Ransom calls at a mysterious house to take shelter, only to find himself captive on a spaceship headed for Malacandra – the red planet he knows as Mars. His intended fate is to be a human sacrifice, but he escapes, meets the various alien inhabitants – and learns how Earth, the ‘silent planet’, was corrupted and cut off from the rest of the Solar System...

Perelandra – Returned from Mars, Ransom is sent on a mission to the beautiful paradise planet of Perelandra, or Venus. There, he encounters floating islands, bubble trees and The Green Lady, an Eve figure tempted by Satan in the form of Ransom’s old enemy, Dr Weston. Forced into a desperate confrontation, can Ransom preserved the purity of this Eden-like world?

That Hideous Strength – Set on Earth in the early 1950s, this ‘fairy tale for grown-ups’ centres around a newly married couple caught on opposing sides of a vast cosmological conflict. Young and ambitious, Mark Studdock is recruited into a mysterious scientific organisation named N.I.C.E. Meanwhile, his wife Jane has been having prophetic dreams, and seeks help from the fabled Dr Ransom. When he reveals that N.I.C.E. is run by his old adversaries – and that they intend to use a resurrected Merlin as an ultimate weapon to control the universe – Jane knows she must join forces with Ransom to defeat the powers of darkness...
