A new political party - the Angels - appears in British politics. Part cult, part charity, the Angels are well funded, well-led by Michael (named after the Archangel). Their policies are designed to appeal across the UK electorate. They are linked with a Muslim group, the 2 drawn together by the fact that the Qur'an was dictated by the Angel Gabriel.

In the process of getting accepted, Andrew is subjected to a series of 'tests' - 'labour of Hercules - set by the Leader of the Angels to monitor Andrew's abilities and commitment. These tests force Andre to work with a long-time Angel, Chloe, with whom he falls in love. Andrew gets accepted as a member of the inner circle of Angel advisors and helps to frame a set of policies for the Election. He becomes a fervent supporter of the new cause.

It's been rough lately for the Lord of Darkness, with ex-girlfriend drama rearing its head at inconvenient moments, ancient gods returning to take over the universe, and Satan's own unstoppable laziness. But whatever. Satan is okay, and he thinks you're okay, too. This whole eternal damnation thing is all a bit of a misunderstanding. He runs Hell as a resort, kind of. A vacation spot. The point is, he's not a bad guy. He's trying to save Heaven and all of creation, and he only has a dimwitted giant, a surly waitress, and a monkey to help him. So, a thank you might be nice. Maybe buy him a cup of coffee next time you see him. And you will see him. It's the Apocalypse, and all that.
