Jack Houston and the Necronauts

Retired test pilot Jack Houston struggles with a tragic history in his reclusive solitude, but when the Venture Aeronautics and Space Transportation corporation recruits the destitute, alcoholic rancher for a final mission, he can’t refuse. Manning the first rocket bound for the mysterious planet Venus, Jack is launched into the void, and into a strange new destiny. After a horrific crash landing, Jack awakens from suspended animation 1,000 years later to find himself captive of a savage race of Venusian beastmen who worship gods capable of animating the dead. Together with a tough, female space jockey and her wolf-like co-pilot, Jack must work to solve the mystery of these “Necronauts,” discovering a connection between the god-like creatures and himself that could be their undoing… and his.
