  • "Dark forces are gathering for a final assault on Earth. Outnumbered, Dr. Ransom relies on the recently-returned Merlin's age-old wisdom to save the day."@en
  • "Lewis ends his space trilogy with a story of satanic will, and an exploration of the lengths to which love and duty can be stretched."@en
  • "Over the earth, the shadow of a dark wing focussed on a small English village - the centre of a gigantic conspiracy against the human race. A tyranny which, with its conquest of death, would destroy all that is best in humanity itself."@en
  • "This is the final book of C.S. Lewis's acclaimed Cosmic trilogy, which includes Out of the silent planet and Perelandra. In that Hideous strength, Dr. Ransom finds himself in a world of superior alien beings and scientific experiments run amok. He struggles with questions of ethics and morality, applying age-old wisdom to a brave new universe dominated by science. His quest for truth is a journey filled with intrigue and suspense. The book's attack on government indifference to ecology won it a new audience in the late 1960s."@en

  • "The thrilling conclusion to C.S. Lewis's acclaimed Cosmic Trilogy that began with Out of the Silent Planet and continued with Perelandra. Mark and Jane Studdock are a newly-married couple about to be drawn into events very far out of the ordinary. The morning after a horrific nightmare about a decapitated head, Jane sees the same face in a newspaper - a brilliant French scientist guillotined for poisoning his wife. Jane has the growing feeling that she is being warned of something real and sinister. Mark, a sociologist, has joined an institute which aims to harness human society. As he is drawn further into this sinister organisation he discovers the truth about his wife's dreams."@en

  • "The brave philologist Dr. Ransom finds himself in a world of superior alien beings and scientific experiments run amok.

Ransom's fight for moral wisdom in a brave new universe dominated by science is a quest filled with intrigue and suspense."@en

  • "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."
