Vennaâs Planet is the story of Venna 8632, a strong-willed, highly skilled, soldier-drilled woman on a mission in outer space, where gravity keeps you perky and the future appears to be rather retro. Sheâs a crew member of the Suntreader, which has been travelling for fifty years (mostly with her occupants in cryogenic hibernation) in order to find a new planet to colonise.
Tired of playing shoot âem up with aliens, Venna yearns to settle on the newest planet the Suntreader has been orbiting - a world they have named Promise. Unfortunately, the only promise Venna is living on is the continuation of a futile war with the current inhabitants - the Krogs⌠and thatâs reached somewhat of a predictable stalemate.
Combining the episodic thrills of classic film serials such as Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers with the free-wheeling 1960s spirit of Barbarella, Vennaâs Planet is a full-cast audio drama adapted from the popular graphic novels written and illustrated by Robin Evans.
In this episode:
Livid at Vennaâs escape, the Countess tries another tack involving Controller Zoltan and the âfresh-off-iceâ recruit Marla. Aboard a stolen droner itâs not exactly plain sailing, and another bumpy landing is imminent - Clayton can help, but can he get over his Krog prejudices in time?
