Venna's 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. She's 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 'em 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 that's 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, Venna's Planet is a full-cast audio drama adapted from the popular graphic novels written and illustrated by Robin Evans.
In this episode:
Dortha and Clyg prepare to spring the Countess's trap with Shelly as bait; meanwhile Zoltan finds himself in a compromising position. Back on the planet's surface, whilst battling hostile jungle and swamp monsters, Venna is receiving painful psychic communications from Shelly - she's alive! But how will Venna get to Prime City so she can rescue her?
