Out Of The Silent Planet
![Out Of The Silent Planet](https://www.thebestsciencefictionbooks.com/storage/images_large/51WHqgFsrlL._SL500_.jpg)
Author: C.s. Lewis
Dr Ransom is kidnapped by Weston and Devine and spirited away to the planet Malacandra, where they plan to sacrifice him to the alien sorns. When they arrive on Malacandra, which turns out to be Mars, Ransom manages to escape and quickly befriends the various alien races that populate Mars. Eventually he meets Oyarsa, the ruler of the planet, who reveals that there is an Oyarsa on each of the inhabited worlds, but that the Oyarsa on Earth, the silent planet, has turned evil. Out of the Silent Planet is the first, and perhaps best, of Lewis's Cosmic Trilogy, which was followed by Perelandra and That Hideous Strength. After Mars as the setting for a communist fable, it is fitting that here it serves as the setting for a Christian fable. Out of the Silent Planet has hardly been out of print since it was first published, and remains one of the most popular of all Martian planetary romances.
