👼 APOCALYPTIC COMEDY & DIVINE SATIRE

A brilliantly witty and internationally beloved novel detailing the impending end of the world, a misplaced Antichrist, and an unlikely alliance between an angel and a demon.

Extended Synopsis

In Good Omens, literary titans Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman join forces to deliver a hilarious, profoundly philosophical take on the apocalypse. According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch—the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, recorded in 1655—the world is scheduled to end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. As the armies of Good and Evil amass, Atlantis rises, and frogs fall from the sky, the Divine Plan appears to be executing perfectly.

However, Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon, are not looking forward to the coming Rapture. Having lived among Earth's mortals since The Beginning, both have grown rather fond of humanity and their comfortable terrestrial lifestyles. To prevent the apocalypse, they must form a clandestine alliance. There is just one significant problem: someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist. This brilliant narrative weaves together theological satire, acute observations on human nature, and an unforgettable cast of characters hurtling toward Armageddon.
