Also know as The Cosmic Trilogy, The Space Trilogy is a sci-fi (or science fantasy) epic from the author of The Chronicles of Narnia and The Screwtape Letters. Like Narnia, it approaches religious themes through a genre lens; because of humanity’s flawed nature, Earth has been exiled from the rest of the solar system to prevent contamination. The books chronicle a trip to Mars, and then Venus, where man is just developing, and finally return to Earth, which is under the threat of a demonic invasion.

Summary: C.S. Lewis’s space trilogy is a set of science fiction works unlike any other that I’ve ever read. It follows the journey of Elwin Ransom across several worlds. In the first two books, Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra, he encounters new terrain and new species, all the while pitted against people who wish to do the beings around him harm. These works overtly deal with some major philosophical and theological questions but do so in a compelling way. The final book of the trilogy, That Hideous Strength, is set on Earth, but is no less an exciting work of science fiction than its counterparts, although it is a little gorier and has, in my opinion, a somewhat darker tone.
