Out of the silent Planet is the first novel in Lewis’ overlooked space trilogy, it is a small book yet has a lot of information in it. In the opening work, we’re introduces to Dr. Ransom who falls into the clutches of two nefarious scientists, Weston and Devine.

My most favorite quote from the character Ransom is “We do not truly see light, we only see slower things lit by it.” That shows me what kind of character Ransom
