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.
