NOTE: The following 11-part series (starting with #2) deals with Satan's attacks on Odyssey. Those attacks manifest themselves in ways ranging from stolen bicycles to vandalism to a bomb exploding at Whit's End. While these things are handled carefully and are integral to the plot, the series still gets extremely intense in places, and is therefore not recommended nor intended for younger listeners.

REVIEW: The following episodes were the most intense "to be continued" Adventure in Odyssey episodes I have ever listened to. Every day, I couldn't wait for the next episode because it was that good. It was interesting to see the city of Odyssey have so much criminal activity and see the characters be placed in tough situations. This audio set comes highly recommended. |
