About this eBook:
  • This e-book only edition brings together the three novels of Philip K. Dick's VALIS trilogy. VALIS What is VALIS? This question is at the heart of Philip K. Dick's groundbreaking novel, the first book in his defining trilogy. When a beam of pink light begins giving a schizophrenic man named Horselover Fat (who just might also be known as Philip K. Dick) visions of an alternate Earth where the Roman Empire still reigns, he must decide whether he is crazy, or whether a godlike entity is showing him the true nature of the world. The Divine Invasion 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. 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. The Transmigration of Timothy Archer The final book in the VALIS trilogy, The Transmigration of Timothy Archer brings the author's search for the identity and nature of God to a close. The novel follows Bishop Timothy Archer as he travels to Israel, ostensibly to examine ancient scrolls bearing the words of Christ. But, more importantly, this leads him to examine the decisions he made during his life and how they may have contributed to the suicide of his mistress and son.

This trilogy is amazing; VALIS especially is such an incredible novel.

I'm a big fan, and this is a great deal. But these are pretty deep cuts. I liked VALIS, but The Divine Invasion is probably my least favorite PKD (out of almost 50 titles). It was pretty quick reading, but I don't recommend this set unless you're pretty devoted. Like me and my esteemed colleagues above.

Having read all three, I think it's a loose "trilogy". The Transmigration of Timothy Archer really doesn't feel connected to the first two. I seem to recall reading somewhere that he originally had a third novel planned for the VALIS series but abandoned it, and then wrote Transmigration instead.

Transmigration is a good book on its own, though--easily my favorite out of the three.

please remember much of PKD is now public domain (his 1940-1960 work) or is available at your local library. PKD would have wanted you not to throw your money at a soulless corporation that is doing barely any work
