Title: Brings out the best in both authors...
Product review: This collaboration seems to bring out the best in both authors. It is continuously funny, in an effective way, and is particularly effective in taking on pseudoscience, which is an inherently comical field whose practitioners are painfully humorless. It's the end of the world, and not many of the characters are aware of what's happening or getting ready to happen any moment. Immortal radio comic genius Jack Benny used to have a running joke about how awful his film THE HORN BLOWS AT MIDNIGHT was. Here's a sort of variant of the theme of Benny's film, updated to the 1990s. It's far from awful! In fact this is my favorite Terry Pratchett novel.
