That Hideous Strength

About.com Rating 4

From

Further, 3rd Rock from the Sun’s intergalactic leader is the Big Giant Head and the Head of N.I.C.E. really is a head. In Lewis' own time, George Orwell called "Strength" a crime story with magic added. If so, it could also be called "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." with its THRUSH: Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity, an espionage story with angels added. Altogether, this book recalls delicious modern cult classics and is a thoroughly enjoyable classic read.
