"Douglas Adams on a sugar high"? Kirkus

NEW REVISED EDITION FOR 2026

The Jehovahs have always been a tight-knit family and one of the biggest names in universal property development. The driving force behind them is the old boy, God, although in recent millennia he has ceased to play an active role and has become something of a recluse.

Now tragedy has struck the House of Jehovah. God has died in mysterious circumstances, leaving his beloved planet Earth to his youngest son, Colin, which seems deeply suspicious, as everyone felt certain that the meek were supposed to inherit it. Colin is all for flogging off the planet to the highest bidder, and this looks like being the Jehovahs' arch rivals, the Lucifer Consortium. If they get their talons on old Mother Earth, they're likely to adopt a much more hands-on style of management. The people of Earth could well find themselves in deep trouble and they're going to need friends in very high places to get them out of it.

It's Dallas meets Deuteronomy in a Divine Comedy to out-Apocalypse them all. And if you thought Robert Rankin had blown his chances of tea with the Pope when he published Armageddon: The Musical, just wait till you read this one.

First published twenty-five years ago, WAITING FOR GODALMING is the third in the "Barking Mad" Trilogy, and a classic of Far Fetched Fiction, a genre created by author Robert Rankin in hopes of having his own shelf in bookstores. Now this classic tale has been reimagined and repackaged for 2026 by Hooded Man Media and Far-Fetched Books.

If you enjoy the works of Douglas Adams, Jasper Fforde, and Terry Pratchett, then don't miss out on WAITING FOR GODALMING and the wild imagination of Robert Rankin, and grab your copy now before the price changes!

"????? Many people describe books as 'laugh out loud funny' and while they are often quite amusing, this book is the only one to have EVER made good on that promise."

"????? I still turn to it when I need a laugh and it never disappoints."
