Perelandra

The second book in the Space Trilogy, which begins with Out of the Silent Planet and ends with That Hideous Strength, is a sharp, sophisticated fantasy that deals with an old problem—temptation—in a new world—Perelandra. The great Dr. Ransom takes on a battle with evil after Perelandra is invaded by the Devil’s agent. The outcome of this titanic struggle will determine whether those on the planet face the ascension to perfection or will follow an older world to corruption.
