Out Of the Silent Planet is the first novel of C.S. Lewis's classic science fiction trilogy. Dr Ransom, a Cambridge academic, is abducted and led to a spaceship to the red planet of Malacandra, which he knows as Mars.

Ransom discovers he has come from the 'silent planet', Earth, a tragic story that is known throughout the universe.
