Special Thanks to Mains Playing Cards for sponsoring Excelsior Journeys throughout the month of July: https://mainsplayingcards.com/

This week, host & producer George Sirois introduces you to his five-part science-fiction / sports serial "From Parts Unknown" by reading the first chapter of Part One. The main character, Stephen Barker, wants nothing more than to provide a happy life for his wife and child, and the best way for him to do this is to be part of the roster for the GCL (Gladiatorial Combat League), the last remaining sport in America. Unfortunately, Stephen has no idea what lies in store for him.
