That Hideous Strength is a 1945 novel by C. S. Lewis, the final book in Lewis's theological science fiction Space Trilogy. The events of this novel follow those of Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra and once again feature the philologist Elwin Ransom. Yet unlike the principal events of those two novels, the story takes place on Earth rather than in space or on other planets in the solar system. The story involves an ostensibly scientific institute, the N.I.C.E., which is a front for sinister supernatural forces.

The Dark Tower is an incomplete manuscript allegedly written by C. S. Lewis that appears to be an unfinished sequel to the science fiction novel Out of the Silent Planet. Perelandra instead became the second book of Lewis' Space Trilogy, concluded by That Hideous Strength. Walter Hooper, Lewis' literary executor, titled the fragment and published it in the 1977 collection The Dark Tower and Other Stories. Lewis scholar Kathryn Lindskoog challenged the authenticity of the work. For convenience, the author of the text is referred to in this article as "Lewis" without qualification.
The Space Trilogy or Cosmic Trilogy is a series of science fiction novels by C. S. Lewis, famous for his later series The Chronicles of Narnia. A philologist named Elwin Ransom is the hero of the first two novels and an important character in the third.

Professor Weston is arguably one of C. S. Lewis's greatest satanic characters. He first appears in Lewis's Out of the Silent Planet, the first novel in Lewis's The Space Trilogy, as an eminent physicist who has invented space travel. He is defeated by the novel's protagonist Elwin Ransom on Mars. Weston returns in the second book, in an attempt to wreak havoc on Venus (Perelandra), the "new Eden."

Elwin Ransom is the main character in the first two books of C.S. Lewis' The Space Trilogy which includes Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra. The trilogy is told in third person point of view. In the last book of the series, That Hideous Strength, Ransom is not the main character. Rather, the main characters are Mark and Jane Studdock, and Ransom is in charge of a group that is resisting demons that are trying to take over Earth while playing the role of a mentor. Ransom is a linguistics school professor at Cambridge, and a confirmed bachelor, at the beginning of Out of the Silent Planet. According to several references in Perelandra, Ransom also served in the World War I, similarly to J.R.R. Tolkien, a good friend of C.S. Lewis. Ransom prefers to spend his holidays alone, hence his capture by the antagonists Weston and Divine. When he is captured, Ransom discovers his purpose is to serve as a ‘ransom’ for the entire human race allowing Weston and Devine can continue their explorations of the planet Malacandra (Mars).
