Novacom Saga

Last Album to Date

The Novacom Saga is a special compilation album featuring 28 episodes from the Novacom saga.

Description

“

When Novacom Broadcasting moves into the town of Odyssey, the media company gives every impression of being

family friendly - until unexplained events begin to happen. Whit finds hidden cameras in his office...Eugene disappears...and blueprints for the Imagination Station are stolen. Could Whit's invention be used for evil instead of good?

Meanwhile, Connie begins dating a young man who works for Novacom. But can she trust a guy who seems to be keeping secrets from her? Soon Whit's son Jason realizes that the strange things he's noticed overseas may actually be pieces to this complex puzzle. With lessons on truth, trusting God, and spiritual warfare, the thrill-a-minute Novacom Saga presents this complete epic miniseries (plus bonus features) in one action packed set.
