Meanwhile, Mark has been enticed to join the National Institute for Co-ordinated Experiments, which aims to control human society. The morning after a horrific nightmare about a decapitated head, Jane sees the same face in a newspaper and has the growing feeling that she is being warned of something real and ominous. 'That Hideous Strength': Newly-married Mark and Jane Studdock are drawn into events very far out of the ordinary. As the mad Weston's body is taken over by the forces of evil, Ransom engages in a desperate struggle to save the innocence of Perelandra. He is horrified to find that his old enemy, Dr Weston, has also arrived and is putting him in grave peril once more. 'Perelandra': Dr Ransom is called to the paradise planet of Perelandra, or Venus, which turns out to be a beautiful Eden-like world. Ransom discovers he has come from the 'silent planet' - Earth - whose tragic story is known throughout the universe. His captors are plotting to plunder the planet's treasures and plan to offer Ransom as a sacrifice to the creatures who live there. Out of the 'Silent Planet': Dr Ransom, a Cambridge academic, is abducted and taken on a spaceship to the red planet of Malacandra, which he knows as Mars.
