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.

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....

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....

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.

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.

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?

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?

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....

Venna gives chase in an effort to rescue the captured Suhl, but instead ends up right where the Countess wants her - just in time for her to arrive with Clayton, her engineer and budding inventor. Yet unknown to Clayton, the Countess has plans for him too....

Venna encounters a swamp monster that inconveniently eats her clothes; she then turns to a sprightly milkbug herder named Suhl for some much-needed help. Meanwhile, two Krogs - Geezur and Blok - are dispatched to capture the downed Venna. To a Krog, however, one human looks very much like another....

In this episode, Smith and the Brigadier return to the Munchausen’s ancestral seat. This haunted castle has more than a few surprises within its walls, including an interstellar kidnapping, a wrestle with a nuclear weapon and the introduction of the Brigadier’s brother, who just happens to be afraid of daylight....

In this episode, a slow escape in a hot-air balloon makes the Brigadier nostalgic for his time in America; stories of rodeo clowns and super-human cyborgs spill from his past. But all this time travel is beginning to erase Munchausen's memory, and Smith fears for her friend’s sanity. Perhaps the only cure is through the help of the truly terrifying tech-guru Logan Snuff....
