"A repackaged edition of the revered author's definitive collection of short fiction, which explores enduring spiritual and science fiction themes such as space, time, reality, fantasy, God, and the fate of humankind. From C.S. Lewis--the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics--comes a collection of his dazzling short fiction. This collection of futuristic fiction includes a breathtaking science fiction story written early in his career in which Cambridge intellectuals witness the breach of space-time through a chronoscope--a telescope that looks not just into another world, but into another time. As powerful, inventive, and profound as his theological and philosophical works, The Dark Tower reveals another side of Lewis's creative mind and his longtime fascination with reality and spirituality. It is ideal reading for fans of J. R. R. Tolkien, Lewis's longtime friend and colleague"--

For some time "The Dark Tower" had been under some scrutiny as to whether it was actually written by Lewis. But I think for many who have read much of his other works have little doubt as to its authenticity. The Dark Tower is an incomplete story; either it was never finished, or parts of the manuscript were lost. It is an entertaining read about Ransom, who is the main character of the space trilogy. This story however focuses on time travel and of course a fight between good and evil. The other stories in this collection are also worth reading as well. Walter Hooper writes the introduction giving many insights, which are worth taking note of. All in all it is an interesting read, but doesn't compare to rest of Lewis.
