That Hideous Strength by C.S.Lewis
The first thing most readers say about That Hideous Strength, Book 3 of the Space Trilogy by C.S.Lewis, is that it is very different from the first two. I agree, the book is, indeed, very different. First of all, it is not science fiction. Instead of taking us on …
