      ''Still makes me laugh 25 years later'' Ben Aaronovitch



      There is a hint of Armageddon in the air. According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. So the Armies of Good and Evil are massing, the four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world''s last two remaining witchfinders are getting ready to Fight the Good Fight. Atlantis is rising. Frogs are falling. Tempers are flaring, and everything appears to be going to Divine Plan.

      Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. They''ve lived amongst Humanity for millennia, and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle. So if Crowley and Aziraphale are going to stop it from happening, they''ve got to find and kill the AntiChrist (which is a shame, really, as he''s a nice kid). There''s just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him.

      Readers can''t get enough of Good Omens:

      ''This is actually a profound philosophical and theological treatise, exploring good and evil, nature versus nurture, free will, war, pollution, and organised religion . . . The writing is so like Douglas Adams that it could be mistaken for a missing volume of Hitchhiker''s'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

      ''Good Omens is a hysterically funny book . . . It is also a love letter to humanity and to the power of free will and choice in a world desperate to wrench it away. You should read it'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

      ''If I were to pick a setting for a comedy, I''m not sure it would be Armageddon. However, in the talented minds of Pratchett and Gaiman, it''s the perfect setting . . . just the right mix of clever, deadpan, sarcasm, innuendo, and self-deprecation'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

      ''Has got to be one of the funniest satires I''ve ever read . . . This book is funny, irreverent, and at times surprisingly insightful'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

      ''No getting around it, it IS funny! . . . The book is loaded with great characters, there''s even a cute little dog, The Hound from Hell morphed into a cat chasing mongrel'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
