The Book Club is back! And this time, we are finishing our dive into C. S. Lewis's Ransom Trilogy with the third book: That Hideous Strength. After the events of Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra, the narrative shifts from Ransom to two new characters, Mark and Jane Studdock, a pair of newlyweds who fully embrace the liberal/progressive/modernist ideas for life, with Mark advancing his career by joining the N.I.C.E. and Jane putting off kids with the goal of continuing her education, and, after a few very vivid nightmares, is introduced to Ransom in what will become a climatic battle between Ransom and his forces of good and the N.I.C.E. and their demonic overlords.
