Compare and Contrast of Two Wonderful Authors

The difference between H. G. Wells and C. S. Lewis is enormous. They both write science fiction novels way ahead of their time, but their ethical beliefs are astronomically different. C. S. Lewis is an avid Christian writer, whereas H. G. Wells is not. The two books I have decided to base my essay on, Out of the Silent Planet, and The War of the Worlds, both have two very different messages.
The first said book is about a man named Ransom. This man is very aptly named because he is kidnapped and sent to Mars with two rough men. They put him down on the surface and wait for a group of aliens they call monsters. However, he escapes and is befriended by a creature who tells him that Malacandra, the Martian name for Mars, is perfect. After much evidence is presented, he must believe. He is told that earth, where he is from, is called the silent planet. This is because all of the other planets have perfect and righteous lifestyles, and earth is ruled by something evil and cannot talk to the other planets.
The other book is about aliens from Mars that try to take over Earth. These aliens are evil and regard humans just as ants until we destroy one of their machines. Then they decide to kill all humans. If it were not for viruses we would all have died in that book. The theme from this book can show us that we will all ultimately die, and we are weak and insignificant in this world.
These are both powerful stories, and they can show us many things about life. I personally prefer reading H. G. Wells because his books are more science minded. But given the choice of whose ethics are better, I choose C. S. Lewis one hundred percent. His viewpoints are more hopeful, and he has more justification for his arguments than H. G. Wells. He uses more than just a story to illustrate his point, he will have a section or something to describe what he actually believes. H. G. Wells leaves you without a clear reference as to what he actually believes. C. S. Lewis and H. G. Wells both are wonderful authors, but they believe in almost exact opposite things.
