Lewis' fictional works include seven books for children known collectively as ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]],'' and three books for adults that fall broadly in the science-fiction genre: ''[[Out of the Silent Planet]],'' ''[[Perelandra]],'' and ''[[That Hideous Strength]].'' Like Tolkien's fiction, these works have a Christian subtext, more noticeable in Lewis than in Tolkien.
