The Divine Invasion

Formats & Editions

Deep in cryonic suspension, Herb Asher thought he was still happily pottering around in his own star system dome, listening to music. Instead, someone took advantage of him being such a nice guy, and Herb had married the terminally ill woman in the next dome.

It all seems strangely familiar - and now he has to go through it all again. And could it be that he is unwittingly going to assist in the invasion of his home planet - and perhaps the second coming...?

Part science fiction adventure, part religious inquiry, The Divine Invasion questions just how much anyone really knows about the nature of reality and God.

Philip K Dick

Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) was born in Chicago but lived in California for most of his life. He went to college at Berkeley for a year, ran a record store and had his own classical music show on a local radio station. He published his first short story, Beyond Lies the Wub in 1952. Among his many fine novels are The Man in the High Castle, Time Out of Joint, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and Flow my Tears, The Policeman Said.

Winner of both the HUGO and JOHN W. CAMPBELL AWARDs for BEST NOVEL, Philip K. Dick is widely regarded as the premier science fiction writer of his day. The object of cult-like adoration from his legions of fans, Philip K. Dick has come to be seen in a literary light that defies classification in much the same way as Borges and Calvino. With breathtaking insight, he utilizes vividly unfamiliar worlds to evoke the hauntingly and hilariously familiar in our society and ourselves.
