A science fiction spin on the story of Jesus’s nativity, from the iconic author of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
God is not dead, he has merely been exiled to an extraterrestrial planet. And it is on this planet that God meets Herb Asher and convinces him to help retake Earth from the demonic Belial. Featuring virtual reality, parallel worlds, and interstellar travel, The Divine Invasion blends philosophy and adventure in a way few authors can achieve. As the middle novel of Dick’s VALIS trilogy, The Divine Invasion plays a pivotal role in answering the questions raised by the first novel, expanding that world while exploring just how much anyone can really know—even God himself.

UnpredictableMind-blowingInformativePart 2 of the Valis trilogy and seriously, super different, unexpectedly the same. Dick is a head trip, but I love how firm he is in his theological footing, which appears to be mostly of his own devising. I find it interesting that Horselover Fat is now Herb Asher, and now it’s our man Herb who can’t quite comprehend reality. To the extent God is pushed aside so we can watch Herb run an audio shop. I mean, if that’s not the essence of reality, I don’t know what is.
