An angel and a demon avert the apocalypse
An angel and a demon have grown rather fond of Earth and would quite like the world not to end, so they mislay the Antichrist and muddle through. It's the Apocalypse done as a warm, daft farce, stuffed with footnotes and good manners. Read it when you need cheering up about humanity.
