description: The Divine Invasion, originally titled 'Valis Regained', is a BSFA Award nominated 1981 sf book by Philip K. Dick. It takes place in the indeterminate future, perhaps a century or more after VALIS. Conceived as a sequel, it shares no characters &amp; few plot elements with the other book. Dick didn't begin actually writing the novel until 3/80 (over a year after VALIS's completion in 11/78), when he wrote it in less than a month. The opening chapters were based on the short story 'Chains of Air, Web of Aethyr' which had been written between VALIS &amp; The Divine Invasion &amp; published before either in '80's Stellar Science-Fiction Stories #5.
