Bookroo's summary

As the world teeters on the brink of Armageddon, a meticulous angel and a hedonistic demon, who've grown fond of earthly life, face an unexpected dilemma: the Antichrist is missing. With the apocalypse looming, these unlikely allies must navigate a chaotic world where prophecies unfold, Atlantis rises, and frogs fall from the sky. Can they avert the end of days, or will the Divine Plan proceed without a hitch? Dive into a tale of celestial mischief and earthly chaos, where the fate of humanity hangs in the balance and nothing is as it seems.

From the publisher

“Reads like the Book of Revelation, rewritten by Monty Python.” – San Francisco ChronicleThe 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.Note: This book is available in different packaging, however content is the same.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 . . .
