The Transmigration of Timothy Archer, the final novel in the trilogy that also includes "Valis" and "The Divine Invasion," is an anguished, learned, and very moving investigation of the paradoxes of belief. It is the story of Timothy Archer, an urbane Episcopal bishop haunted by the suicides of his son and mistress--and driven by them into a bizarre quest for the identity of Christ.
"The most consistently brilliant science fiction writer in the world."--
John Brunner "[Dick] sees all the sparkling and terrifying possibilities... that other authors shy away from."--
Rolling Stone"The fact that what Dick is entertaining us about is reality and madness, time and death, sin and salvation--this has escaped most critics. Nobody notices that we have our own homegrown Borges, and have had him for thirty years."--
Ursula Le Guin, The New Republic
