34/2023: Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman: Good Omens - Audiobook

Audiobook read by Martin Jarvis

Having watched the TV series, I was interested to go back to the source material. It did not disappoint. Martin Jarvis performed the voices perfectly. Crowley, a demon, and Aziraphale. an angel (and part time antiquarian book dealer) both represent their various factions on Earth. Over the millennia, though supposedly enemies. they've become friends, so when the Antichrist is born, or rather smuggled into the maternity hospital by Crowley, they have a problem. Heaven and Hell are lined up against each other for a colossal battle and all that's needed to trigger it is for the Antichrist (by that time aged 11) to destroy the world. This is unfortunate because Crowly and Aziraphale quite like the world, and would very much like to keep it as it is. In the meantime there are a bunch of side characters getting involved. Adam (the Antichrist) had been brought up as a human due to a switcheroo in the maternity hospital, and now has a little cabal of human friends. Witchfinder Private Pulsifer becomes involved with Anathema, descendent of Agnes Nutter, and keeper of the book of Agnes's prophesies, which are, indeed The Nice and Accurate Prophesies of Agnes Nutter. It climaxed on an American airbase when the whole cast finally comes together.
