Book #1 in the Space Trilogy.
While on a walking holiday, Ransom needs a place to stay for the night. When he finds a home in the countryside, he stumbles upon two men about to embark on an incredible space journey. One of the men he knew, but did not like, from the university. They force Ransom into a space ship with the intention of giving him as a sacrifice to the leaders on Malacandra (aka Mars). Once on the planet, Ransom manages to escape and discovers that the residence on Malacandra are not cruel nor stupid. Can he protect this beautiful planet and its species from the evil intent of his fellow humans? I am not a sci-fi fan, but I did not dread reading this book. Lewis's description of the this world and his creativity in creating this story are admirable.
