Basic introduction and description of characters

What did you love best about The Journey Begins?

Although Will is bent on revenge, he never loses touch with humanity and the needs of others, no matter what it might cost him.

Have you listened to any of J Rodney Turner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first experience with Rodney.

Who was the most memorable character of The Journey Begins and why?

The main characters are all memorable and alive.

Any additional comments?

I was hoping for a brief encounter with or sighting of the Blackman Gang or one of its members. Although the goal of the story, to set up a base, was reached, my expectations were left flat. Perhaps future installments will lift them.
