惡魔克羅里向來明白他會經歷世界末日,但他希望這天很久以後再來。
然而,地獄大長官表示,「時機已到」,克羅里身負重任,要讓撒旦的兒子(又稱敵基督、地獄天使、暗黑之王……什麼什麼的)降生人世,健健康康、邪邪惡惡地長大--然後喚醒天啟四騎士,順便引發天堂與地獄都期待已久的末日大戰。
他每個環節都辦得非常妥當,除了一件事:他把小寶寶搞丟了。聽說四百年前絕版的《阿格妮思.納特良準預言集》神準無比,不曉得有沒有辦法預言一下撒旦王子現在在哪裡啊?

“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 . . .
