"My final gesture... I'm going to blow this place to smithereens!" One minute, Wade Mullins had been in Odyssey...attempting to burn his friend's top-secret drawings for the atomic bomb. The next he knew, he was staring at a man he didn't know, from an alternate world. This strange prophet says Wade is the final sign - an end-times omen of a culture on the verge of annihilation. But a power-mad tyrant sees opportunity in the boy; Wade will usher in a new age of power, thanks to his bomb-making capabilities. But only when innocent people begin to die does Wade understand how deceived he's been. It's do-or-die time. Can Wade stop the madman's reign of terror his bomb will surely bring? Or is destruction inevitable as these people reap what they've sown?

Parallel worlds, universal truths. What if history repeated itself - with you in it? "Passages" takes familiar stories and retells them from a kid's perspective. Loosely based on the popular "Adventures in Odyssey" series, "Passages" books begin in Odyssey and take you to a fantasyland, where true belief becomes the adventure of a lifetime!
