Why this must be read:

There are many stories where Heaven and Hell decide to come after Aziraphale and Crowley in retribution for the thwarted Apocalypse, but in this one, they decide to force the cosmic Hands because they just can't wait for the shoes to drop. Predictably, they botch it. Badly. This story has about the most canonically-apt fleshing out of Heaven and Hell that I've ever seen, right down to the horrible answering machines and the fact that in its way, Heaven is much more frightening than Hell. There's high adventure, there's Cerberus, there's a rather ticked-off Adam pulling feathers out of the fire, and there is simply fantastic language. DoS is one of those writers (rather like Gaiman and Pratchett themselves) who stops me almost every paragraph with some hilarious, eloquent, sublime turn of phrase. And I can't even linger on them long because the plot is so compelling.

"There can be no deus ex machina in a godless place."
