The second-best book I have ever read.
-
If you want a refreshing revisit to the Garden of Eden, with Man's future on the line again and Satan every bit as nasty as he is in our world today -- but the outcome is a little different -- then you need to read this book. That said, this IS book two of the series, and to get the connection between why and how Ransom is who he is, you will need to read the first book, "Out of the Silent Planet."
The reader is wonderful... the story is wonderful. I think you will find it... amazing.
Cheers!
Orlando. And the best I have ever read. Why, B.H., of course!
