Second-C.S. Lewis, known for Narnia series, but published little talked about space/science fiction trilogy, very imaginative and thought provoking. again check the library first.

"Out of the Silent Planet"
London: John Lane, 1938; rpt. New York: Macmillan Paperbacks Editions, 1965
First novel of the Space Trilogy. The main character, Ransom, is kidnapped and taken to Malacandra (Mars) as a kind of human sacrifice. Ransom escapes his captors and discovers the inhabitants are friendly. This voyage of philosophical adventure culminates in a trial scene between Ransom and his former captors.

Very interesting to find out which is the "silent planet" and why

"Perelandra"
London: John Lane, 1943; rpt. New York: Macmillian Paperbacks Edition, 1965.
Second novel of the Space Trilogy. Ransom travels to Perelandra (Venus) where he must fight with the Devil (who has taken possession of Weston, the scientist from the first novel) for the soul of the Green Woman (the Eve of Venus). Ransom succeeds and thus prevents a repetition on Venus of the Earth's fate - the fall and loss of Eden.

The first two are very good, the third is kind of dated(odd).

"That Hideous Strength: A Modern Fairy-Tale for Grown-Ups"
London: John Lane, 1945; rpt. New York: Macmillan Paperbacks Edition, 1965.
The third novel of the Space Trilogy. Back on Earth, Ransom heads a loosely formed society, Logres, which opposes NICE, Lewis' satiric portrait of a modern power-mad bureaucracy. The NICE hopes to recall Merlin and use him in their plot to recondition society but succeeds only in constructing a modern Tower of Babel.
