The battle between Blackgaard and the gang at Whit's End draws to an explosive close.
Theme: Spiritual warfare
Eugene is Whit’s dependable, eccentric genius of an assistant. Whether he’s working at Whit’s End, teaching at Campbell College, or developing another big invention, Eugene knows everything about everything (or thinks he does).
As Odyssey’s resident window-washer and philosopher, Bernard takes great pride in doing things right—putting him at odds with today’s shortcuts and shortcut-takers. Despite his grousing and muttering, he has a heart of gold and tells great stories, which makes him a natural to host the television program, “B-TV.”
Rodney Rathbone is an only child, who proudly serves as the town bully and head of a gang called “The Bones of Rath.” He has become a fixture on the streets (and back alleys) of Odyssey. Whether he’s harassing kids, trying to con someone, or starting a rock band, Rodney keeps things lively through his humorous and willful defiance of common sense.
As Whit’s nemesis, Dr. Regis Blackgaard is synonymous with pure evil in Odyssey. Where Bart Rathbone’s schemes are comical, Blackgaard’s are terrifying. A former European intelligence agent, he has plotted more than once to take over Whit’s End and Odyssey by whatever means necessary. He is to be feared and never trusted.
