[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0="Zeke"]the so-called Cosmic Trilogy starting with [iost_uid0]Out of the Silent Planet[/iost_uid0].[/quoteost_uid0]
I've also heard it called The Space Trilogy and The Ransom Adventures. I wish Lewis had written more scifi novels like this. He had a number of good short stories, and in a book of his unfinished works, he had started an interesting addition to the trilogy called [iost_uid0]The Dark Tower[/iost_uid0], which dealt more with time than space.

Then again I'm a CS Lewis gusher. He has written very few things that I have not found extremely profound, insightful, and enjoyable. His outlook and perspective on things is very accesible to me. I wish I could have known him. (I'd settle for being able to listen in to converstions between him and Tolkien as they develop their respective works.)[/colorost_uid0]
