A review by siriuschico
The Divine Invasion, Volume 2 by Philip K. Dick
5.0
Meanwhile, VALIS (The first book of VALIS trilogy) is more of a philosophical tractate with a minimal story; The Divine Invasion is full-fledged science fiction with a newly born messiah. It is very loosely connected with the first book, where Sophia (Messiah, personification of Zebra) is killed. We will get another try in the unspecified future. However whole Earth is under the influence of Belial, and Yah can be only reborn in a distant colony. His return to earth is full of traps and obstructions.
Well... this is more of the classical P. K. Dick's, which transform into another theological tractate hallway throughout the book. It is more of the continuation of the author's view of the fight between good and evil. Even personal saviour - Linda Fox, can help us get rid of Belial, which influences our life vision.
I liked the first book a little bit more, VALIS does not try to hide what it is, but The Divine invasion could be excellent sci-fi only. New world order with Christian-Islam church, Science legate and supercomputer called "Noodle" is super intriguing. But anyway, that's not important because nothing is not not not real; it's just a hologram projected by VALIS - an ancient satellite guiding us to open our third eye. VALIS says to give it five stars.
