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.

Observer
One of the few post-war novelists who deserves the title "visionary"
Sunday Times
One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction
