Street Date: October 2, 2012   | BLU-RAY/DVD srp: $24.98/$19.98


In the last moments of World War II, a secret Nazi space program evaded destruction by fleeing to the Dark Side of the Moon.  During the following 70 years of utter secrecy, the Nazis constructed a gigantic space fortress with a massive armada of flying saucers.  Their plan: travel back to Earth and re-colonize the planet.  And in 2018, mankinds greatest enemy is no longer history as the Reich strikes back in this eagerly-anticipated worldwide box office phenomenon which has enjoyed a U.S. theatrical release in over 75 markets.

When American astronaut James Washington (Christopher Kirby) puts down his Lunar Lander a bit too close to the secret Nazi base, the Moon Führer (Udo Kier) decides the glorious moment of retaking the Earth has arrived sooner than expected. Washington claims the mission is just a publicity stunt for the President of the United States (Stephanie Paul), but what else could the man be but a scout for the imminent attack by Earth forces?

The Fourth Reich must act, so two Nazi officers, ruthless Klaus Adler (Götz Otto) and idealistic Renate Richter (Julia Dietze), travel to Earth to prepare the invasion.  In the end when the Moon Nazi UFO armada darkens the skies, ready to strike at the unprepared Earth, every man, woman and nation alike, must re-evaluate their priorities.

C. S. Lewis' Beloved Sci-Fi Series Released in E-Book Format for First Time in English

For decades, fans of The Chronicles of Narnia have been drawn into the pages of "The Space Trilogy"— now, E-book readers are invited to experience Lewis' magical vision of other-worldly creatures and heroic adventures.

"This book has real splendor, compelling moments, and a flowing narrative." -- New York Times

"Lewis, perhaps more than any other twentieth-century writer, forced those who listened to him and read his works to come to terms with their own philosophical presuppositions." -- Los Angeles Times

SAN FRANCISCO, April 4, 2012 -- HarperOne, in collaboration with the estate of C. S. Lewis, announces the first English language E-book release of his three classic "Space Trilogy" titles—Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength.

Standing alongside such classics as George Orwell's 1984 and J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, the Space Trilogy follows the brilliant Dr. Elwin Ransom—a character modeled after none other than Tolkien himself—as he wages war against the powers of evil in universes familiar and unknown. Confronted by dark forces who threaten to destroy "The Silent Planet," Ransom must travel throughout the galaxy in order to save his home, once known simply as "Earth."

Including enchanting new worlds, an enthralling cast of characters, and an epic battle of good vs. evil, Lewis' Space Trilogy is available electronically in English for the first time, offering a new venue for Sci-Fi lovers and Narnia fans to explore this timeless adventure series.

"The Space Trilogy books are longtime fan favorites," says Mark Tauber, SVP and Publisher of HarperOne. "We hope, in bringing these books out electronically, that fans and newcomers alike will be drawn into this remarkable world that only C. S. Lewis could create."

Out of the Silent Planet (E-Book; April 3; ISBN 9780062197030), the first title in this extraordinary series, introduces readers to Dr. Elwin Ransom, a Cambridge academic abducted and taken by spaceship to the red planet of Malacandra, or Mars. While plotting to evade his captors—who plan to plunder the planet's treasures and offer Ransom as a sacrifice to the creatures who live there—he discovers he hails from the 'Silent Planet,' or Earth, whose tragic story is known throughout the universe.

The second novel, Perelandra (E-Book; April 3; ISBN 9780062196934), describes Dr. Ransom's voyage to the paradise planet of Perelandra, or Venus, which turns out to be a beautiful Eden-like world. Horrified to find his old enemy there as well, Ransom engages in a desperate struggle to save the innocence of Perelandra.

That Hideous Strength (E-Book; April 3; ISBN 9780062196941) concludes the adventures of Dr. Ransom, who faces an epic battle against dark forces preparing an assault on planet Earth. It is up to Ransom and his friends to squelch this threat by applying age-old wisdom to a new universe dominated by science. The two groups struggle to a climactic resolution that brings the Space Trilogy to a magnificent, crashing close.
