Publisher's summary

A brand-new full-cast audiobook production of the classic collaboration from internationally best-selling 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!

Featured Article: Audible Essentials—The Top 100 Screen Adaptations of All Time


As the category of great page-to-screen storytelling continues to grow, we scoured our libraries, grilled audiophiles and cinephiles, and vetted the entire Audible catalog for the 100 greatest screen adaptations for watchers and listeners alike. These are the stories that inspired some of the greatest on-screen stories of all time, from Academy Award winners and cult classics to must-see TV. They're well worth the price of admission.

Editor's Pick

Theater for the end of the world
I love adaptations of origin stories. Time and time again, they rehash the events that first divided our minds into right and wrong. With each listen, we rediscover who we’ve become. Though Good Omens references Eden, fans of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett know best: never trust a place to be exactly as it seems. This story asks why the end of the world would develop in a ''kids’ paradise,'' but no such place could survive to begin with. Surely the natural curiosity and boredom of children would always lead to an apple that ends it all. Kids love to ask ''why,'' and it would be a denial of our origins for adults to forget that we too learned to ask questions while growing up. As a child, I learned this lesson first through Gaiman’s Coraline, then The Graveyard Book, then The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Though I’ve revisited each of these stories, they’ve never failed to teach me something new. Expect to find fresh perspective in this full-cast recording, brought to life by David Tennant, Michael Sheen, and the many brilliant newcomers to the world of Good Omens. This listen delivers theater to your doorstep: a perfect gift for those of us missing live productions. —Haley H., Audible Editor

Love this book

I loved the subtle love story that is not even said by the main characters and how it seems that they are yet to realize themselves. I would recommend this book to anyone who gets bored easily as it keeps my high adhd self interested. I gave it 5 stars because the change of voices kept me interested in the book and the story is just written so beautifully that I think anyone would enjoy it.❤️

It's a wonderful audiobook

If you're a fan of the novel or the tv show, you'll enjoy this version of the audio book. The performances are great, the quality is fantastic, and it really lives up to the experience.

Would have been easier to follow if I was British.

The full cast performance was wonderful.
I had a hard time following the story through the audio though and wish I would have read the print. However, a truly unique fun story.

Funny, whimsical, dark and bright

This is a wonderfully whimsical take on the Biblical apocalypse. The plot doesn’t take as many twists as your typical Neil Gaiman novel, but his straight faced humor is paramount. I’m not familiar with Pratchett, but they seem to make a great team. Lovable characters, and I think it would be enjoyable for both Christian’s and non-Christian’s alike.
