“What’s so funny about Armageddon? More than you can imagine, and Good Omens has arrived just in time.” —Detroit Free Press “Get Terry Pratchett (New York Times bestselling author of Tah-ha! and the revered father behind the Discworld series) with Neil Gaiman (New York Times bestselling author of The Anansi Boys and the revered creator of the Sandman comics), and all hell breaks loose.” According to Agnes Nutter's The True and Complete Prophecies (the only book in the world that has ever been true, written in 1655 before she died in a fit of rage), the world will end on a Saturday, or rather, the next Saturday, just before dinner time. The armies of good and evil will assemble, Atlantis will rise to the surface, frogs will fall from the sky, passions will run wild, and everything will seem to be going according to divine plan. However, a difficult angel and a hedonistic demon—both of whom have been living among mortals on earth since the beginning and have become addicted to the prevailing lifestyle—are not looking forward to the coming ascent to heaven. It seems that someone has misplaced the Antichrist. What they said about the novel: “Contemporary madness in the extreme… and a crushing force of witty absurdity that had me laughing out loud.” - San Diego Union-Tribune “It’s like when Thomas Pynchon, Tom Robbins, and Don DeLillo co-wrote a screenplay and remade Jack Benny’s *The Horn Blues at Midnight*… Wow, it would be a movie from hell… or heaven, the choice is yours.” - Washington Post “Awesomely entertaining” - Dayton Daily News “It pushes boundaries, not to be pigeonholed but to be savored. Read it for a good laugh.” - Orlando Sentinel “A direct descendant of *The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy*” - New York Times
