Yours was the first thought that occurred to me, as well.

Then Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra.

Then the realization that this is all a moot point: it all depends on whether the aliens have accepted Barack H. Obama as their personal savior (mmm, mmm, mmm). /sarc>

Cheers!

Then “Out of the Silent Planet”, “Perelandra”, and “That Hideous Strength”. It is a trilogy.
