The Divine Invasion
''The Divine Invasion'' is a BSFA Award nominated〔(【引用サイトリンク】 1982 Award Winners & Nominees )〕 1981 science fiction book by Philip K. Dick. It is the second book in the gnostic VALIS trilogy, and takes place in the indeterminate future, perhaps a century or more after VALIS. It was originally titled, "Valis Regained".
After the fall of Masada in 74 AD, God, or "Yah" is exiled from Earth and forced to take refuge in the CY30-CY30B star system. Meanwhile, the people of Earth are ruled by Belial, the spirit of darkness, but Yah is intent on reclaiming his creation.
==Writing==
The book was conceived as a sequel to Dick's ''VALIS'', though it shares no characters and virtually no plot elements with the other book. ''The Divine Invasion'' was conceived immediately after the completion of ''Valis'', with the working title ''VALIS regained''.〔Jonathan Lethem, notes to ''VALIS and other novels'', The Library of America, 2009〕 Dick did not begin actually writing the novel until March 1980 (more than a year after ''VALISs completion in November 1978), when he wrote it in less than a month.〔 The opening chapters were based on the Dick short story ''Chains of Air, Web of Aethyr'' which had been written between ''VALIS'' and ''The Divine Invasion'', and published before either in 1980 in ''Stellar Science-Fiction Stories #5''.〔
