About this listen

The world’s last day has arrived. Hell itself has come to Earth. Streets of fire, rivers of blood, and the trains aren’t running on time.

But Morag Murray isn’t going down without a fight. And as the mother to the anti-Christ, she feels a wee bit responsible. And maybe - just maybe - with the aid of possessed voodoo doll Steve, a cursed donkey, and her colleagues at the Consular Mission to the Venislarn, they can figure something out, even after all hope has gone.

The fifth (and surely final?) novel in the best-selling Oddjobs comedy series.

An enjoyable ending to an entertaining series

Everyone's favourite characters coping with the 'end of the world', joined by some new favourites comprising of "Mr and Mrs Nina's Mum and Dad."
This has genuinely been one of my favourite series that I have listened to/read this year.
Funny and lighthearted, but hinting at some more thought provoking themes.
The narration, as always by Matthew Lloyd Davies, is second to none.
Thank you Heide, Iain and Matthew, for numerous hours of entertainment and many laugh out load moments

Amazing Narration

Great series. I love how all the little elements from the previous book came into land. Adore the new covers. Thanks to both authors and the narrator for hours and hours of inventive fun.

Steve the Destroyer! best character ever

I found it a bit confusing at times but loved it anyway. Rewound it quite a few times to clear up queries. I've enjoyed the whole series and fell in love with Steve the Destroyer.

Hidden worlds and peoples in plain sight

I love the vivid descriptions of the people's and locations. Both real and fantasy. The characters, plot lines draw you in and carry you onward. I would love to visit this universe 😄😄😄

Horrific narration

I have bought every book that Heidi and Iain have written. The month by month titles for JC are set at different levels of genius.
I loved Odd Jobs, books one to four (analogue) are outstanding. A thoroughly enjoyable romp through an impossible time and adventure
This presentation is just awful. It’s possible that the preceding volumes are equally bad, but I haven’t listened to them.
I’m about 20 minutes in and will be returning this book as the narrator is horrifically poor. My crass Hartley Hare impression from a badly remembered Pipkins is so, so much better than Matt’s “brumeey” accent.
DISAPPOINTED.
