Rebecca Front’s narration is perfectly suited to the wry, dry, very British humor of this classic collaboration between Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. A star-studded cast of actors chimes in with dialogue—including Michael Sheen and David Tennant reprising their roles from the streaming TV series. Sheen is a delightfully fussy Aziraphale, and Tennant captures a Crowley who, while occasionally menacing, is mostly just trying very hard to be cool. Armageddon approaches, but the angel and demon are both rather fond of their lives on Earth. What to do? More than 30 years old, this novel about the apocalypse remains clever and very, very funny. Whether you’re a longtime fan or are experiencing GOOD OMENS for the first time, this new audio production charms. J.M.D. 2023 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
A brand new full cast audiobook production of the classic collaboration from internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett starring Rebecca Front as the Narrator, Michael Sheen as Aziraphale, and David Tennant as Crowley!
""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 . . .
Don't miss Season 2 of the Prime original series!
