After all the post-cyberpunk, Steampunk, New Weird, Post-Singularity, Post-Scarcity etc. books I have been reading lately it is nice to turn to an old school sf book for a change of pace and a bit of coziness. Out of the Silent Planet is in fact more of a science fantasy than something you would exp...
So far the Space Trilogy is not that different from the Narnia books. People from our world travel to another world where they encounter different types of intelligent creatures who practice Christianity by another name. There is in both a benevolent but tough talking supernatural entity who tries...
If the Chronicles of Narnia are C.S. Lewis' attempt (and a wonderful one) to write Christian children's fables, then this trilogy seems to be his attempt to write Christian science fiction.Although I am not Christian myself, this doesn't bother me, as it seems to bother others, particularly in refer...
This is a tiny book, but it took FOREVER.I was/am a huge fan of the Narnia books, and I've always wanted to check out some of his other writing.

This is the only science-fiction novel I've ever read that was written with a fully theistic (not naturalistic) worldview. Its premise is: what if, on other planets in the solar system, aliens had a relationship with God? It's unique and fascinating, and one of the best books I've read in years. I m...
What a load of crap! Boring book that make you suffer even if it is less than 200 pages long. I wrote a review for the whole series and this is what I have written on this one.Space Trilogy, namely the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength are one of the most boring Sci fi one could e...
