Diane B. (cyber-librarian) -
Ransom is kidnapped by Weston and Devine and taken to Malacandra (Mars). Weston is interested in conquering the planets for Earthlings to go when Earth is old. Devine is only interested in the gold on the planet. Ransom is intrigued by the 3 species (pfifltriggi, sorn and hrossa), history and philosphy of the planet. The eldil seem like angels and Oyarsa seems like God (god). I found the book very interesting ... even though I struggle with the language (foreign words) a bit ... and had a bit of trouble wrapping my imagination around the extraterrestrial descriptions.
