Good Omens
Description
Season 2 of Good Omens coming soon!
“Reads like the Book of Revelation, rewritten by Monty Python.” — San Francisco Chronicle
The classic novel of angels, demons, and Armageddon from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, now a Prime original series starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant.
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 . . .

|“Who would have thought that the Apocalypse would be so entertaining?...Narrator Martin Jarvis’s outstanding performance captures all of Aziraphale’s British officiousness and all of Crowley’s vaguely disinterested sarcasm. Jarvis also shines as he bounces from Sister Mary Loquacious to Scarlett Zuibiger to Adam Young, the 11-year-old would-be Antichrist, and so many others, with impressive ease. Moreover, Jarvis’s attentiveness to the authors’ sense of timing and humor enables his performance to accentuate every twinge of irony in this absurd comedy.” - AudioFile Magazine
“...just too clever to miss, especially with Martin Jarvis narrating...Overall [Jarvis’s] deep voice and lovely diction, along with a seemingly full cast of his characters, make this much more fun to hear than read to oneself.” - Boston Globe
“...so much fun to read OR listen to that I suggest you round up a copy ASAP…Good Omens, nicely read by Martin Jarvis, is filled with laugh-out-loud moments along with a great deal of well-thought-out commentary on the state of humanity.” - Sarasota Herald-Tribune
