Summary

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 persuades 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.

Also listen to the first book, VALIS.

Simply awesome

What a fantastic story, told brilliantly; a clever, captivating peek into the mind of god and the way the universe works as Philip K Dick saw it... well, at least for this piece!!

Wouldn't listen to again

Would you try another book written by Philip K. Dick or narrated by Dick Hill?

Yes. I like Dick and the performance was ok. This was a poor book though.

What was most disappointing about Philip K. Dick’s story?

The ending. It ends far too soon, I felt there was about a quarter of the book left. Dick's books can do this but it's always frustrating.

What about Dick Hill’s performance did you like?

Nothing was that inspiring.

Did The Divine Invasion inspire you to do anything?

It inspired me to not get the third in the Valis series.
