Three audio adventures based on the Eagle comic strip "Dan Dare" created by Rev. Marcus Morris, adapted and drawn by Frank Hampson. Episode 1 - Voyage to Venus by Richard Kurti and Bev Doyle. 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, cold-hearted ruler, the Mekon. A creature destined to become Dan Dare's nemesis - and Earth's greatest threat...Episode 2 - The Red Moon Mystery by James Swallow.Unable to return to Earth, Dan Dare and the crew of the Anastasia head to the desolate planet Mars, where Dan's estranged Uncle Ivor is part of a research team working on a top-secret archaeological dig; but when they find the base wrecked and the scientists missing, Dare, Digby and Professor Peabody soon discover that the Red Planet is not nearly as dead as everyone thought and that Ivor's expedition has woken an army of deadly insect-creatures that threaten to swarm and engulf the Earth.
..Dare must stop the aliens, but can he really resort to genocide in order to save the human race?Episode 3 - Marooned on Mercury by Marc Platt. 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! Contains a fourth disc of extras. NOTE: Dan Dare features some mild swearing and content which may not be suitable for younger listeners.
