The classic collaboration from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, now a Prime original series starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant.

Season 2 of Good Omens coming soon!

"Good Omens . . . is something like what would have happened if Thomas Pynchon, Tom Robbins and Don DeLillo had collaborated. Lots of literary inventiveness in the plotting and chunks of very good writing and characterization. It's a wow. It would make one hell of a movie. Or a heavenly one. Take your pick."-Washington Post

According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.

So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon-both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle-are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.

And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .

Industry Reviews

"Huge fun."--Sunday Express (London) "Irreverently funny and unexpectedly wise . . . Highly recommended."--Library Journal "Hilarious!"--Locus "Something like what would have happened if Thomas Pynchon, Tom Robbins and Don DeLillo had collaborated."--Washington Post "[L]ittle asides, quirky observations, simple puns and parody eventually add up to snorts, chortles and outright laughs."--San Diego Union-Tribune "Fiendishly funny."--New Orleans Times-Picayune "What's so funny about Armageddon? More than you'd think . . . GOOD OMENS has arrived just in time."--Detroit Free Press "Reads like the Book of Revelation, rewritten by Monty Python."--San Francisco Chronicle "If you've never read [GOOD OMENS], don't miss it now. Grade: A."--Rocky Mountain News "Full-bore contemporary lunacy. A steamroller of silliness that made me giggle out loud."--San Diego Union-Tribune "From beginning to end, GOOD OMENS is side-splittingly funny . . . a ripping good time."--Rave Reviews "An utter delight--fresh, exciting, uproariously funny."--Poul Anderson "It could be called The Hitchhiker's Guide to Armargeddon."--Palm Beach Post "Outrageous . . . read it for a riotous good laugh!"--Orlando Sentinel "The Apocalypse has never been funnier."--Clive Barker "A direct descendant of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."--New York Times "A slapstick Apocalypse, a grinning grimoire, a comic Necronomicon, a hitchhiker's guide to the netherworld."--James Morrow, author of Only Begotten Daughter "One Hell of a funny book."--Gene Wolfe "I whooped . . . I laughed . . . I was in near hysterics.: --New York Review of Science Fiction "Wacky and irreverent."--Booklist "Hilariously naughty."--Kirkus Reviews
