Publisher's Summary
The internationally beloved novel by dream literary collaborators and internationally bestselling writers, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Soon to be a massive new TV launch on Amazon Prime Video and the BBC, a series written and show-run by Neil himself and starring David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Jon Hamm and Miranda Richardson, to name but a few.
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.

Fun mayhem
Loved this book. The narration was really fun to follow even when the story itself went a little off the rails.

Marvellous narration with plenty to chuckle about!
Hilarious and masterful narration and voice acting! Story had a tendency to meander a bit, but ultimately was a lighthearted and enjoyable listen!

Charming and Hilarious
A wonderful critique, love-letter and parody of the end times which is as fascinating as it is ridiculous.

Great
Loved the narrator. Would look for more books by Martin.
Story is just as good in audio as it was when I read it.

such fun!
a wonderfully irreverent journey to the end of the world that tastes a lot like Hitchhikers.

Absolutely enjoyed it.
Loved every moment. Watched the BBC series with David Tennant and Martin Sheen and listening to it on Audible made me appreciate it more. The series and audible book compliment each other. Highly recommend. Great performance by Martin Jarvis the narrator.
