When a distress call summons the crew of the Anastasia to the burning wilderness of Mercury, they are reunited with their old ally, Sondar. He tells them of the beleaguered Mercurians who are held in thrall to a cruel new taskmaster - the Mekon! The exiled Mekon is rallying his forces, plotting a desperate revenge against his former homeworld of Venus and his hated enemy, Colonel Dan Dare!

The complete collection of season one of Dan Dare: The Audio Adventures. This includes all six episodes: 'Voyage to Venus', 'The Red Moon Mystery', 'Marooned on Mercury', 'Reign of the Robots', 'Operation Saturn' and 'Prisoners of Space'. Also included are both the documentary Dan Dare: 21st Century Spaceman and New Worlds - the Music of Imran Ahmad.

Brilliant test pilot Dan Dare is chosen to fly the Anastasia - a new experimental spacecraft - on its maiden voyage to Venus. This isn't exploration - it is to make first contact with a mysterious civilisation that has sent technological secrets as a goodwill gesture. However, what Dan, Digby and Professor Peabody find on Venus isn't goodwill but a terrifyingly intelligent, coldhearted ruler, the Mekon. A creature destined to become Dan Dare's nemesis - and Earth's greatest threat.

Arthur Du Fuss, bitter, alone, and ignored by his neighbours, has two secrets: one dies with him when he commits suicide; the other is the vast wealth he amassed through the creation of a cult board game. Now his erstwhile neighbours receive a post-mortem invitation to the offices of a charismatic City lawyer to play a final version of the game; the prize - Arthur's fortune. As they dice with the devil, the game first exposes the fragility of their relationships, and then tears them apart, with tragic and horrifying consequences.

The village of Papplewick has a new head family keen to exchange goodwill with the outlaws. Much is less than thrilled when Robin decides he should be the one to meet with the head villager’s eldest child each month, to swap tax money for food and information. The last thing Much wants is to trudge across Sherwood in all weathers to talk to a girl.

Many centuries ago, before Robin, before King Richard and Prince John, before even Herne the Hunter, there was Sherwood Forest. And at the heart of it, mystical paths were drawn together to protect the future. But something or someone in Robin’s time has chosen now to make a stand and destroy the past, the present and the future, with the help of the dragons, the ancient beasts of legend. And it will take a true hero to stop them.

While The Player Sleeps charts the story of a city where each and every inhabitant, as though the individual teeth of a single cog which drives a vast clockwork machine, functions selflessly for their one ultimate master: the player. For, as we would understand it, this is the city of the video game—the urban sandbox, an open world simulation, and the inhabitants are merely the actors upon a digitised stage. Existing solely for the entertainment of HIM.

The Sussex Beekeeper at the Dawn of Time is an unconventional and breath-taking tour de force that flirts with the crossover and steampunk genres. The book knits together a transcribed oral memoir, newspaper clippings, and myriad letters and journal pages from across two millennia, much of it held together by the pithy comments of a certain elderly beekeeper residing in Sussex, England. While comparatively few, these notes are nonetheless the essential marble skeleton on which the whole denouement and structure of the book hangs.

Drugged and tied up in the Interrogatron, Venna is horrified to learn the true origin of the Krogs and the Countess’ role in their creation. Clayton and Suhl find themselves imprisoned together in a storeroom - but the ever-resourceful Suhl has an escape plan in mind....

Scrambled to engage enemy Krog ships, Venna and Shelly give chase, but when Shelly gets into difficulty Venna is prevented from saving her by commander and former lover Countess Galo. When forced to crash land on a planet called Paradise, Venna discovers it’s anything but....

In a desperate attempt to cover his mistake, Geezur plans to return Suhl to where he found her before he’s discovered, but the Krog admin is causing way more problems than his prisoner. Clayton and Venna’s situation is no better, being on the receiving end of some of the Countess’ painful and unpleasant experiments.

Venna runs into an old flame who’s now unrecognisable...and speaking of running, the various interlopers are doing quite a lot of it. Clayton and Suhl decide the safest place is back where they started, and Venna and Geezur realise there are significant gains to be had by joining forces.

The Countess’ machinations continue with her defrosting a notorious killer, Knullius - who just happens to be the love of Jylda’s life. Meanwhile, under attack yet again from natives unhappy about a badly parked spaceship in their jungle, Venna and her friends are forced to fight. Outnumbered and outgunned, will they all make it out alive?

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.

Livid at Venna’s escape, the Countess tries another tack involving Controller Zoltan and the ‘fresh-off-ice’ recruit Marla. Aboard a stolen droner it’s not exactly plain sailing, and another bumpy landing is imminent - Clayton can help, but can he get over his Krog prejudices in time?

Another day, another crashed spaceship. Venna, Suhl, Geezur and Clayton crawl out of the wreckage into the jungle and a rather sticky encounter. On Suntreader, the Countess continues to manipulate Zoltan and prepares the ground for a new trap to ensnare Venna using the particularly unpleasant psychic skills of Jylda and Grust....

Dortha and Clyg prepare to spring the Countess’ 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?
