Description
Book SynopsisThe irreverant, hilarious, touching and philosophical caper about the end of the world.
''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,
Trade Review
The Apocalypse has never been funnier. - Clive Barker
Wickedly funny. - Time Out
A superbly funny book. Pratchett and Gaiman are the most hilariously sinister team since Jekyll and Hyde. If this is Armageddon, count me in. - James Herbert
Hilarious Pratchett magic tempered by Nail Gaiman's dark steely style; who could ask for a better combination? - Fear
