Good Omens《好兆头》是由英国奇幻作家尼尔·盖曼和特里·普拉切特写的一部奇幻小说，讲述了世界末日（即善恶大决战）的故事。本书还被BBC改编为广播剧，深受读者和观众的喜爱。

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 . . .

Review
“The Apocalypse has never been funnier.”(Clive Barker)

“Hilariously naughty.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Wacky and irreverent.” (Booklist)

“Reads like the Book of Revelation, rewritten by Monty Python.” (San Francisco Chronicle)

“Fiendishly funny.” (New Orleans Times-Picayune)

“From beginning to end, GOOD OMENS is side-splittingly funny . . . a ripping good time.” (Rave Reviews)

“If you’ve never read [GOOD OMENS], don’t miss it now. Grade: A.” (Rocky Mountain News)

“It could be called The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Armargeddon.”(Palm Beach Post)

“[L]ittle asides, quirky observations, simple puns and parody eventually add up to snorts, chortles and outright laughs.”(San Diego Union-Tribune)

“What’s so funny about Armageddon? More than you’d think . . . GOOD OMENS has arrived just in time.”(Detroit Free Press)
主角之一名叫克鲁利，穿着时尚，开的车是本特利，除了毁灭人类之外没有固定工作——因为他是魔王撒旦的手下。

另一位主角名叫亚茨拉菲尔，珍本书商，业余魔术师。他是个天使，给上帝干活儿。

还有一位主角名叫亚当，普普通通的一个小孩。当然，这本书里没几个普通人，尤其是这一位。他的真实身份是：神之大敌、诸王的毁灭者、无底深渊的天使、名叫恶龙的猛兽、此界的王子、谎言之父、撒旦之种和黑暗之君。一句话，撒旦的亲儿子。

本书讲述的是世界末日的故事，也就是善恶大决战。问题是，亚茨拉菲尔和克鲁利(天使和魔鬼)本是几千年的老朋友，经常喝酒聊天，而且结成了同盟，对各自上司交办的差事都敷衍了事。还有，亚当这个撒旦之子也觉得地球挺不错，把它毁了怪可惜的……

Terry Pratchett (28 April 1948 – 12 March 2015) was an English author of fantasy novels, especially comical works. He is best known for his Discworld series of 41 novels.
Pratchett's first novel, The Carpet People, was published in 1971. The first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983, after which Pratchett wrote an average of two books a year. His 2011 Discworld novel Snuff became the third-fastest-selling hardback adult-readership novel since records began in the UK, selling 55,000 copies in the first three days. The final Discworld novel, The Shepherd's Crown, was published in August 2015, five months after his death.

I WAS A NICE DAY.
All the days had been nice. There had been rather more than seven of them so far, and rain hadn’t been invented yet. But clouds massing east of Eden suggested that the first thunderstorm was on its way, and it was going to be a big one.
The angel of the Eastern Gate put his wings over his head to shield himself from the first drops.
‘I’m sorry,” he said politely. “What was it you were saying?”
“1 said, that one went down like a lead balloon,” said the serpent.
“Oh. Yes.” said the angel, whose name was Aziraphale.
‘I think it was a hit of an overreaction, to be honest.” said the serpent. “I mean, first offense and everything. I can’t see what’s so bad about knowing the difference between good and evil, anyway.”
“It must be bad.” reasoned Aziraphale, in the slightly concerned tones of one who can’t see it either, and is worrying about it. “otherwise you wouldn’t have been involved.”
“They just said. Get up there and make some trouble,” said the serpent, whose name was Crawly, although he was thinking of changing it now. Crawly, he’d decided, was not him.
“Yes, but you’re a demon. I’m not sure if it’s actually possible for you to do good,” said Airaphale. “It’s down to your basic, you know, nature. Nothing personal, you understand.”
“You’ve got to admit it’s a bit of a pantomime. though.” said Crawly. “I mean, pointing out the Tree and saying ‘Don’t Touch’ in big letters. Not very subtle, is it? I mean, why not put it on top of a high mountain or a long way off? Makes you wonder what He’s really planning.”
“Best not to speculate, really,” said Aziraphale. “You can’t second-guess ineffability, 1 always say. There’s Right, and there’s Wrong. If you do Wrong when you’re told to do Right, you deserve to be punished. Er.”
They sat in embarrassed silence, watching the raindrops bruise the first flowers.
