There is a hint of Armageddon in the air. According to the least-selling book of 1655 —The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch — the world will come to an end on a Saturday Next Saturday in fact. The Armies of Good and Evil are massing, the Four Horsemen have been unleashed. Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring, and everything appears to be going to Divine Plan. Except that a fastidious Angel and a fast-living Demon, who have enjoyed a rather decadent lifestyle on earth for six millennia, are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. They just have to find a way to indefinitely postpone Armageddon. There’s only one problem: they’ve misplaced the Anti-Christ.

In 1979, a delivery truck makes its way up a lonely southern California highway in a storm, bound for the San Diego Zoo with a deadly tropical rattlesnake as cargo. When the truck suffers a blowout, the driver loses control and hits a tree, shattering the snake's aquarium in the back and the window separating the snake from the driver. The snake slithers into the front of the truck, kills the driver with its bite and then moves off into the forest. Flash forward to 1999. The small southern California town of San Vicente has grown from 6,000 to 30,000, and the rattler, which escaped nearby years ago, has bred. There are now 25,000 of these hybrid rattlesnakes, and they are slowly making their way downhill into the town, attracted by the movement of the blasting as the town paves its way toward progress. Progress, in this case, brings terror, in this tale originally penned by John Carpenter.

The fate of a young Australian boy is somehow linked with that of a young Roman boy who had traveled to Australia by ship during the time of the Roman Emperor, Nero.

A woman artist's affair with a younger man jeopardises her marriage, her career and her child's future. He personifies the nihilistic philosophy of Albert Marcuse and tries to manipulate her. Her dependence on him forces her to reassess all the values of her art and life. We observe these events at three levels; a woman writer uses them as the basis of a play and in the process reveals parallels in her own experience.
