  • "The third and final book in the Space Trilogy, concludes the adventures of the matchless Dr. Ransom whose quest for truth is a journey filled with intrigue and suspense."

  • "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."
  • "When Dr. Ransom finds himself in a world of superior alien beings and scientific experiments run amok, he struggles with questions of ethics and morality. [from back cover.]."@en
  • "A story of satanic will, and an exploration of the lengths to which love and duty can be stretched."
  • "In the third book of Lewis's classic space trilogy, Out of the Silent Planet, Dr. Ransom enters the increasingly pressing conflict between science and ethics and embarks on a mysterious journey."@en
  • "The last book of Lewis's sci-fi trilogy is a breakneck journey of suspense in which Dr. Ransom must choose sides in a battle between science and ethics. Like Perelandra and Out of the Silent Planet, this is a compelling work of fiction that is also, at its heart, a timeless allegory of good and evil. Written during the dark hours immediately before and during the Second World War, C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy, of which That Hideous Strength is the third volume, stands alongside such works as Albert Camus's The Plague and George Orwell's 1984 as a timely parable that has become timeless, beloved by succeeding generations as much for the sheer wonder of its storytelling as for the significance of its moral concerns. For the trilogy's central figure, C.S. Lewis created perhaps the most memorable character of his career, the brilliant, clear-eyed, and fiercely brave philologist Dr. Elwin Ransom. Appropriately, Lewis modeled Dr. Ransom on his dear friend J.R.R. Tolkien, for in the scope of its imaginative achievement and the totality of its vision of not one but two imaginary worlds, the Space Trilogy is rivaled in this century only by Tolkien's trilogy The Lord of the Rings. Readers who fall in love with Lewis's fantasy series The Chronicles of Narnia as children, unfailingly cherish his Space Trilogy as adults; it, too, brings to life strange and magical realms in which epic battles are fought between the forces of light and those of darkness. But in the many layers of its allegory, and the sophistication and piercing brilliance of its insights into the human condition, it occupies a place among the English language's most extraordinary works for any age, and for all time. In That Hideous Strength, the final installment of the Space Trilogy, the dark forces that have been 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 the force that can find him and bend him to its will. A sinister technocratic organization that is gaining force throughout England, N.I.C.E. (the National Institute of Coordinated Experiments), secretly controlled by humanity's mortal enemies, plans to use Merlin in their plot to "recondition" society. Dr. Ransom forms a countervailing group, Logres, in opposition, and the two groups struggle to a climactic resolution that brings the Space Trilogy to a magnificent, crashing close."
  • "La lutte entre le bien et le mal entamée sur la planète Malacandra atteint son point culminant. Au collège de Bracton, Mark Studdock, sociologue sans envergure, se voit pourtant proposer un poste au sein du mystérieux Institut national de coordination expérimentale. Délaissée, sa femme fait la connaissance d'une communauté un peu particulière, à Saint-Anne."
  • "Third volume of the celebrated space trilogy which deals in a satirical manner with "deviltry" and the corruptible nature of man."@en
  • "Sequel to Perelandra."
  • "A satirical fantasy about a war between morality and devitry, involving ordinary people and superior beings from outer space, power hungry maniacs and Merlin, the magician."
