Book Description
The final book in C. S. Lewis's acclaimed Space Trilogy, which includes Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra, That Hideous Strength concludes the adventures of the matchless Dr. Ransom. The dark forces that were repulsed in Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra are massed for an assault on the planet Earth itself. Word is on the wind that the mighty wizard Merlin has come back to the land of the living after many centuries, holding the key to ultimate power for that force which can find him and bend him to its will. A sinister technocratic organization is gaining power 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 new universe dominated by science. The two groups struggle to a climactic resolution that brings the Space Trilogy to a magnificent, crashing close.

A crazy but effective mix of characters.......2007-10-07
Number one, I would probroably give "That Hideous Strenght" a 4.5 instead of a five. I have two issues with the novel, it is somewhat slow in places and the ending should have had a more climatic feel.
Thankfully, the book has many positive attributes which more than outweigh the negative ones. When Lewis is at his best, his work is exceptionally interesting. The charcters cover a vast range from college professors to Merlin. The villans are the most interesting as they range from a power-hungry politician to mad sceientists to the sadistic pervert Fairy Hardcastle. One villian is even apparently based on H.G. Wells (this is the character who had became famous righting novels). Overall, a messed up but very enjoyable work with some positive Christian messeges.
Disappointing end to otherwise wonderful trilogy.......2007-10-05
While this book had all the elements that I loved in the previous two books (satire, allegory, poetic description), it was really lacking the cohesion of the other two and was generally a disappointing end to the Space Trilogy 3 Book Set Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra & That Hideous Strength C.S. Lewis. Lewis seems very caught up in the politics of academia for the first third of the book, and then suddenly remembers the fantasy genre. The last third of the book features a rather anti-climactic battle that seemed to be a pastiche of several different mythologies.
All that said, there is still a lot of value in the book. There are some deftly drawn characters unlike anything I've read in other literature of the 1940s. Lewis' investigation of the complexities of marriage, while it does not go far enough, asks important questions that blend faith and sociology in provocative ways.
If you have read Out of the Silent Planet (Space Trilogy, Book One) and Perelandra (Space Trilogy, Book 2) I would recommend that you finish the trilogy, if for no other reason than plot continuity. I will say that this book does not stand alone as one of Lewis' better works.
Tolkien well described it as "That Hideous Book," .......2007-09-25
The literary disaster that ends Lewis' 'Space Trilogy'.
Unlikeable or unconvincing good guys, cardboard villains, and a wandering plot could not be spruced up into anything interesting, either by a surprise visit from an historical Merlin, reanimated human body parts, or even a grown bear thrown in as a full-fleged party member.
Lewis over-reached himself in this one. Be a big Lewis fan and brew a big pot of coffee if you plan on finishing it.
Better to read Til We Have Faces, if you're looking for some readable and thoughtful adult fiction by Lewis.
Good Secular Reading.......2007-09-14
Very well written. As this book was my second foray into C.S Lewis, (the first being the fantastic "'Till We Have Faces", I never understood where people get the idea that this work has heavy Christian overtones. If anything, it delves into paganism, and what appears to be precursors to Scientology and other UFO cults. If Christianity is a major facet in CS's works, then he may be exploring the underlying knowledge that manifests itself into the various, usually bloated religions, an effort that would otherwise result in his excommunication, or worse.
Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03
Try and do a Jules Verne type story. Take the fun and adventure out. Make it boring and unappealing. Voila. You have C.S. Lewis's planet trilogy. This is a textbook case of how to not do a planetary romance type tale, but rather than philosophical mouthpieces rambling on, crying out for you to close the book.
Customer Reviews:
Got me hooked on sci-fi.......2007-10-04
I absolutely LOVED this series. My science fiction loving father recommended it and now I have become a sci-fi junkie because of it. A great story that shows our history and future in interesting ideas. Fantastic read.
Books to Change One's Life.......2007-08-14
Books such as these cannot fail to change you. There have been many books in my life which I could say that about, but short of the Bible, I think these surpass them all (Tolkien's Lord of the Rings or G.K. Chesterton's Man Who Was Thursday being the only serious competition).
I cannot speak about these books without a tone of awe, it would be absolutely useless to try and explain why. Please trust me - read these, and many times, too.
Soak It Up.......2007-02-14
Sometimes learning is like sunbathing. You soak up wisdom like you soak up rays--changing, even though you can't pinpoint every little drop that touched you.
I say that because today I completed the second book in C. S. Lewis' Space Trilogy. True, I can't name one thing I learned (and this series is much more about exploring concepts than telling a story), but I feel very wise. Before you laugh too hard, let me say that my spirit is quiet right now. It's still. Rested. Open. In awe. Ready to receive.
Today I will continue resting, listening. Tomorrow I'll go back over the pages and remind myself what I learned. (And then I'll start the third book.)
I highly recommend these book, but read them only when you have lots of time to reflect.
Excellent Series.......2006-09-12
Out of the Silent Planet
C.S. Lewis
Scribner Paperback
ISBN 0684823802
This is the first book in C.S. Lewis's amazing Space Trilogy. These books are far less known than Lewis's Narnia series or even his Mere Christianity or The Screwtape Letters, yet it is just as good as any of those writings and goes to show the versatility of Lewis as an author.
This first book begins with our hero, Dr. Ransom, out for a walking tour in the countryside, dressed in that shabby way for which professors are renowned. His foes are his former schoolmates Devine and Weston. These men believe they need a human sacrifice, and by capturing Ransom they have their victim, for they have made a spaceship and are taking Ransom to Malacandra the red planet.
Once on Mars, Ransom escapes his captors, meets many species, and finds out that on Mars there has been no `Fall' and Ransom from Earth or the Silent Planet is a bit of an oddity. People from earth are considered to be `bent' in nature, from the original sin of the fall.
Follow Ransom as he treks across a strange world, and must find the courage to risk it all to save not only an alien race, but also, possibly his own soul.
This is a first book in an amazing series. Try it - you won't be disappointed.
Perelandra
C.S. Lewis
Scribner Paperback
ISBN 0684823829
This is the second book in C.S. Lewis's amazing Space Trilogy. This book was written as a sequel to the immensely popular Out of the Silent Planet but Lewis also wrote it so that the story can stand on its own. So if you haven't read the first you can start here.
This book takes place some time after the first, but we are not sure how long. Ransom has received a summons to Venus, a planet that is just beginning its inhabited life. This planet's `Adam' and `Eve' are on the planet and they must choose to obey God or to reject his law and face a `fall' as has happened on earth.
Ransom must face his old foe Weston, and try to save a planet from great evil. Can he navigate this watery planet; can he negotiate the intricacies of human weakness, temptation and corruption? Can he conquer himself and help others to learn obedience?
This is a great creation story. Try it - you won't be disappointed.
That Hideous Strength
C.S. Lewis
Scribner Paperback
ISBN 0684823853
This is the third and final book in C.S. Lewis's amazing Space Trilogy. This book was written as a sequel to the immensely popular Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra but Lewis also wrote it so that the story can stand on its own. So if you haven't read the first, you can start here.
That Hideous Strength, unlike the first 2 books in this series, where Ransom leaves earth and fights evil in space and on other planets, the battle in this book takes place on earth.
Ransom must lead a group of faithful believers against National Institute for Coordinated Experiments or N.I.C.E., an organization that believes that Science can solve all of humanity's problems. He must battle the people in this organization, super aliens trying to invade and control earth and use its population against other planets and against God.
On top of all of that, Merlin has arisen from his long sleep and has arisen in England's time of greatest need. But the question is, who will find him first - N.I.C.E. or Ransom and his team? The fate of the world, and possibly the universe, rests on this question.
Lewis called this story an adult's fairy-tale. It is a mix of sci-fi and fantasy, and a book that will keep your attention as you raptly turn the pages to find out where Lewis will lead you.
Sublime Christian Fantasy.......2005-11-20
I am continually amazed by CS Lewis - his Narnia books were of course, excellent and entertaining, Mere Christianity a tour-de-force in apologetics, and The Great Divorce and Screwtape Letters were astonishing in their fictional applications of Christian doctrine. Finally, the book of his that I found most puzzling - "The Abolition of Man", turns out to be the non-fiction underpinnings for the third volume in this wonderful science fiction/fantasy trilogy. Like a key fitting a lock, the grim prophecies of "The Abolition of Man" are shaped and given character in "That Hideous Strength", and I am left in awe again of Lewis' genius.
But the trilogy does not start with such a complexity. "Out of the Silent Planet" begins mundanely enough, taking the hero Dr. Ransom out of the context of earth to explore the thesis of "what would Christian Truth be like on another planet." Lewis, as in his Narnia series, is quite bold in building his allegory - he takes license that would border on heresy if he weren't so committed to the fundamental integrity of Christianity. Indeed, one gets the feeling that where he bends doctrine in order to accomodate his plot (such as in making the Oyarsa into the makers and shepherds of worlds - contra "The Word" or "Logos"), he does so humbly and innocently. In spite of the fact that Lewis has much more to say, "Out of the Silent Planet" is self-contained and fulfilling.
"Perelandra", the second volume, follows Ransom once more as he is transported to Venus to play a strange role in another planet's Garden of Eden. While enjoyable, Perelandra relied a bit too much on descriptions of terrestrial paradise that were untransferable to the reader - one doesn't get as caught up as Dr. Ransom in the sensual aspects of Eden. Lewis does, however, deftly manage the paradox of "That Happy Fall" - the sin of Adam that led to the miracle of Christ. "Perelandra" is entertaining, but not quite so fulfilling as either the first or last books in the trilogy.
The final volume, "That Hideous Strength" is very unlike the first two in tone and context. Not merely because the action takes place on Earth (and a post-war England that is so like/unlike post-millennial America), but because rather than an exposition or exploration of Christian realities on other worlds, Lewis is engaging the eugenic nightmare threatening to atrophy all of Western Civilization. There was a strange resemblence to GK Chesterton's "The Ball & The Cross". In fact, "That Hideous Strength" was the most Chestertonian of Lewis' works, combining the comic absurdity of philosophies taken to their natural conclusions with the sobering reminder that "this is happening even now". In another weird sense, "That Hideous Strength" reminded me of John Barth's "Giles Goat Boy" (with poor Barth coming out quite unfavorably in the comparison). Perhaps this was only the use of the University as the sphere of action, or the creeping modernism that is Lewis' villain and Barth's savior.
In any case, "That Hideous Strength" masterfully blends the revelations of the preceding volumes in the trilogy along with a sudden infusion of earthly mythology, Arthurian legend, post-war philosophy, and even a bit of J.R.R. Tolkein (quite odd, this last bit!). But the root of "That Hideous Strength" is no fantasy, but a recognition of the apocolyptic desire of man to eat from the tree of knowledge and cheat death - by remaking himself. The word "eugenics" isn't used much any more after the Nazis became its champions. But back in the 30's it was all the range, striking deep into the Roosevelt White House, and carried on to this day under the auspices of Planned Parenthood. Lewis might have forseeen the horrors of man's affair with his own genetics, but this last most chilling development is not captured in "That Hideous Strength".
Here in the 21st century, in the midst of the technology that alarmed CS Lewis, we live in a world of the human genome project, designer babies, clones, fetal stem-cell research, ADHD, "Indigo Children," prisoner rehabilitation, John Hinckley, and dying-with-dignity. One hopes that somewhere out there is a Dr. Ransom monitoring the situation with a Mr. Bultitude standing by. Failing that, one wishes there were another CS Lewis, who, through an intimate grasp of Christianity and a ranging imagination, could skewer the modern eugenicists and stand in the breach against the abolition of man.

this should be more popular.......2004-08-26
With lots of attention on Tolkien's work, and a film adaptation of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe on the way, hopefully more people will discover this wonderful trilogy.
This is C.S. Lewis' fictional series for adults. I find some of his nonfiction apologetic writing to be a bit 'stuffy' (minus the brutal realism of "A Grief Observed"), but his fictional works are fun and fantastic.
The Cosmic (or Space) Trilogy follows the heroic Dr. Ransom on his adventures. He's something of an unlikely hero... heck, he's an Oxford scholar. The first bit of Out of the Silent Planet, the first installment, is a bit slow, but once you exit the Earth's atmosphere it really picks up.
OOTSP follows Ransom on a voyage to Mars. Lewis' interpretation of space flight is quite interesting, too. On Mars (I believe called "Malacandra") he encounters three species. To be honest, I don't remember many of the details of the plot, but rest assured, it's good.
Perelandra takes him to Venus, to a world that has not fallen into a state of sin. It's a sort of extended meditation on sin and the fall. Lewis' depiction of Ransom's arch nemesis, when 'possessed' (I forget his name) is chilling.
That Hideous Strength takes the battle between good and evil to Earth. Again, it starts off a bit slow. Instead of one Oxford scholar, you have a whole bunch. Parts of it reminds me of Hume's "Dialogues..." actually. Oh yeah, there's a bear too. Ransom has become a very wise and powerful man, and the story revolves around their quest to get the ancient magician Merlin on their side to fight the forces of evil.
Those who like fantasy literature should definitely give this series a chance. Also, check into "The Dark Tower," an unfinished story that (I believe) was written after Out of the Silent Planet, featuring some of the same characters. The fancy Oxford guys uncover a parallel universe, and chaos ensues. There's actually some interesting sexual imagery one wouldn't expect from Lewis.

Book Description
With her acclaimed hardcover debut, No Place Like Home, readers enthusiastically welcomed Barbara Samuel into the ranks of bestselling women’s fiction, applauding her stirring novel of loss and redemption. In A Piece of Heaven, she shares another poignant tale rich in atmosphere and insight that explores the complexity of relationships, the importance of family, and the healing power of love.
In the sun-baked hills of New Mexico, Luna McGraw has lived a lifetime of regrets, struggling to conquer the demons that destroyed her marriage and caused her to lose custody of her beloved daughter. But as Luna fights to rebuild a relationship with the troubled teenager, she remains haunted by images of her own childhood and the father she barely knew.
Strong and resilient as the houses he builds, Thomas Coyote comes into Luna’s life one extraordinary night when his grandmother nearly dies while conjuring a fiery brew of spiritual enchantment. Luna does not need a man— especially one with a needy ex-wife—to complicate her fragile dreams of the future. Their attraction pushes them both beyond reason into a place where there is only possibility. Yet it will take more than passion to recover the tattered pieces of Luna’s soul, more than time to forgive the sins of an offending husband, and more than promises to mend the broken heart of a child.
A Piece of Heaven is an irresistible novel full of colorful characters and lush settings spiced with the magical flavors of the Southwest, a brilliant tapestry of romance and realism by a master storyteller.

My favorite Barbara Samuels book.......2007-02-19
Barbara Samuels makes her chacters so real that you feel like you know them. Hated to see this book end.
More than Just a Piece of Heaven.......2004-02-09
Barbara Samuel has done it again - written a book that has a wonderful story without being a formula of her previous book. Luna McGraw, a former therapist, a recovering alcoholic, and in the midst of trying to quit smoking is working in the floral department of the local supermarket in Taos, New Mexico. Luna's life is finally becoming balanced again when she meets Thomas Coyote, the man she's had a crush on for years, and when her daughter, Joy, comes to live with her. The story is lyrical and luscious. Samuel brings New Mexico to the reader in a way that makes you want to go there and visit if not to live.
I think it's a mistake to classify Samuel's books as "romance." They are more than that. But if you like romance novels (not that there's anything wrong with that), then fine. And if you don't, please try this one. You'll be pleasantly surprised to find this wonderful artist who takes words and weaves them into a literary treat.
It doesn't get any better..........2004-02-02
characters + setting + details + humor + humanity = five stars for me. I loved this book and am emailing all my friends. I hope future ones are just as good. As a side note, the covers don't reflect the gritty, humorous, real prose inside. If I was picking it up based on the cover I'd expect a quiet story about love and loss in a happy neighborhood. This, it is not.
Barbie says this book is great!.......2003-09-13
After enjoying "No Place Like Home," I was eager to read Barbara Samuel's next book. I liked this one even better. It's warm and wise, filled with beautiful and evocative passages that transport us to New Mexico. As a mother and author myself, of NEW PSALMS FOR NEW MOMS: A KEEPSAKE JOURNAL, I especially enjoyed the mother-daughter relationship that develops. This book is a tale of love, hope and redemption...it really is a little piece of Heaven.
Sensuous, magical and poetic.......2003-08-12
"A Piece of Heaven" is one of the most sensuous and poetic books I've ever read. The language is lyrical, full of vivid colors and imagery, tender and fiery at just the right moments. I couldn't put it down!
At the center are Luna McGraw, a divorced mother and recovering alcoholic who once lost custody of her teenage daughter, and Thomas Coyote, a big, gentle, mixed-blood Indian man who's trying to get over his own painful divorce. He falls in love with Luna right away and she is irresistibly drawn to him, but afraid of getting hurt and jeopardizing her fragile relationship with her daughter. Thomas's patient, gentle kindness seems too good to be true and Luna has to overcome her own fears and let him love her.
The setting is Tao, New Mexico, but it seems dreamy and timeless. This book deserves to be read again and again!

Mark's Review of A Piece of Heaven by Sharon Dennis Wyeth.......2004-02-06
This book was awesome. I just met the writer at my school, Trevor Day School. Well, now I'll tell you about the book. When Mahalia "Haley" Moon turns 13-years old, her mother gets a nervous breakdown. Haley's mother goes to the hospital while Otis, her brother, takes care of Haley. Mahalia then gets a job for Mr. Jackson. He gives Haley confidence and offers a beautiful friendship to Haley. Then Otis gets arrested, and Terry, a social worker, takes Haley to a foster home. She learns new things, and still is in touch with her mother.
Review for A Piece of Heaven.......2004-02-06
I really enjoyed this book. I loved all the characters, especially Jackson. He seemed like a realy friendly guy, he would be one of those teachers that you would never forget in real life. The other Thing that stuck to me was the relationship between Otis and Haley. They reminded me of my sister and me. We hit and fight with each other. I thought that was really great, and funny too.
heaven's own peice for children........2004-02-06
A Piece of heaven was a great book about a family of three. Otis, the troublemaking gangbanger who wastes his money and gets fs in his report car, Mahailia, a striaght a student who is the only one who keeps her mother from breaking down, their mother, a nervous lady who is shaking from the pressure of bills and Otis'arests. It is a great book with drama love and wonderful people in their battle with their many problems.
A Book from Heaven.......2004-02-06
A Piece of Heaven was not the best book that I have ever read, but out of the books that I have read this year, this was one of the best. I think that this book just clicks with people today because of the troubles in living in a city and living alone. The character of Mahalia is truly splendid. She has spunk, courage, and she is strong. But with such a great character, there is always trouble. The author describes her pain so well, like when she is being tacken from her home, or when her brother was arrested. The book really shows her sorrow and sadness. I liked the character Jackson. He has a sort zen like feeling and almost everyime, you may feel like he may be god, in a way. A man who plays piano, and has this garden, which is like a piece of heaven. I really enjoyed reading this book, because of it's originality, it fast paced movement, and it's witty diolauge.
Review for 'A Piece of Heaven'.......2004-02-06
I thought this book was great! Sharon Dennis Wyeth did a great job with writing the book. The characters were reallly well wriiten, by the end of the book it seemed as if you had known Mahalia, Otis and Jackson forever. The plot of the story was also very, very good. The idea of having Mahailia get a job as a 'Yard Helper' and making her boss someone who can she can confide in through all of the bad things was magnificent! I think she should keep writing, I am looking forward to her next novel.
