Valis is a unique book, designed to accomplish exactly what it does.
The Divine Invasion lacks the same oomph the second time because you know the answer to the big mysteries already.
I was very fond of Radio Free Albemuth and it certainly blends in with Valis. BTW I don't think there's such a thing as a "quadrilogy," I think you just go from trilogy to series. :-p
