{{GO}} is a 1990 standalone fantasy novel co-written by [[Terry Pratchett]] and [[Neil Gaiman]] - it was Gaiman’s first novel. The initial idea of “what if the Anti-Christ grew up to be a nice boy?” was Gaiman’s; he told it to Pratchett, who wanted to know what happened next and offered to buy the idea from Gaiman. Instead they ended up writing it together. It was not an immediate success but has become a cult favourite, especially after it was adapted into a television series starring [[David Tennant]] and [[Michael Sheen]]. The third and final season of the series will be based on the original idea Pratchett and Gaiman cooked up for a sequel they never wrote.

Which is a major problem for Crowley, Hell's most approachable demon and former serpent, and his opposite number and old friend Aziraphale, genuine angel and Soho book shop owner. They ''like'' it down here (or, in Crowley's case, ''up'' here).

There is a hint of Armageddon in the air. According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (as recorded in 1655), 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.

All that's required now is the Anti-Christ. There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him.

Good Omens is a 1990 standalone fantasy novel co-written by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman - it was Gaiman’s first novel. The initial idea of “what if the Anti-Christ grew up to be a nice boy?” was Gaiman’s; he told it to Pratchett, who wanted to know what happened next and offered to buy the idea from Gaiman. Instead they ended up writing it together. It was not an immediate success but has become a cult favourite, especially after it was adapted into a television series starring David Tennant and Michael Sheen. The third and final season of the series will be based on the original idea Pratchett and Gaiman cooked up for a sequel they never wrote.

First edition

According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter - the world’s only totally reliable guide to the future - the world will end on a Saturday.

Next Saturday, in fact.

Just after tea.

Which means that Armageddon will happen on Saturday night. There will be seas of fire, rains of fish, the moon turning to blood and the massed armies of Heaven and Hell will sort it all out once and for all.

Which is a major problem for Crowley, Hell’s most approachable demon and former serpent, and his opposite number and old friend Aziraphale, genuine angel and Soho book shop owner. They like it down here (or, in Crowley’s case, up here).

So they’ve got no alternative but to stop the Four Motorcyclists of the Apocalypse, defeat the marching ranks of the Witch-finder army[1] and - somehow - stop it all happening.

Above all (or, in Aziraphale’s case, below all) they need to find and kill the Antichrist, currently the most powerful creature on Earth.

This is a shame.

Because he’s eleven years old, loves his dog even though it’s really a Satanic hellhound under all that hair, really cares about the environment and is the sort of boy anyone would be proud to have as a son. He’s also totally invulnerable, and a nice kid.

And if that isn’t enough, they’ve still got Sunday to deal with...

Collector’s Library edition

It wasn’t a dark and stormy night. It should have been, but that’s the weather for you.
There is a hint of Armageddon in the air. According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (as recorded in 1655), 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.

All that’s required now is the Anti-Christ. There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him.
