DESCRIPTION:
Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him. Frogs are falling. Atlantis is rising. Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's brilliantly dark and funny take on mankind's final judgment is back, in a new hardcover edition which includes an introduction by the authors.. Next Saturday, in fact. 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). They've lived amongst Humanity for millennia, and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle. So the Armies of Good and Evil

Convinced that a post-Armageddon life would be dull and boring, he teams up with an angel called Aziraphale to s
Like top agents everywhere, they've long had more in common with each other than the sides they represent, or the conflict they are nominally engaged in. Pratchett's wackiness collaborates with Gaiman's morbid humor; the result is a humanist delight to be savored and reread again and again. The only person who knows how it will all end is Agnes Nutter, a witch whose prophecies all come true, if one can only manage to decipher them. Pratchett (of Discworld fame) and Gaiman (of Sandman fame) may seem an unlikely combination, but the topic (Armageddon) of this fast-paced novel is old hat to both. You see, there was a bit of a mixup when the Antichrist was born, due in part to the machinations of Crowley, who did not so much fall as saunter downwards, and in part to the mysterious ways as manifested in the form of a part-time rare book dealer, an angel named Aziraphale. The minor characters along the way (Famine makes an appearance as diet crazes, no-calorie food and anorexia epidemics) a
