An Earthman on Venus (Originally titled "The Radio Man") by Ralph Milne Farley
"An Earthman on Venus" by Ralph Milne Farley is a science-fiction adventure novel written in the mid-20th century. The story centers around Myles Cabot, an ingenious young radio experimenter from Boston who, through a mishap involving his experimentation with transmission technology, finds himself transported to the mysterious planet Venus. Here, he encounters a bizarre and dangerous world filled with giant ants, man-eating plants, and strange creatures, leading to a gripping tale of
survival and discovery. At the start of the novel, the narrator, who is connected to Myles, describes the extraordinary events leading up to an incident involving a meteorite that serves as a crucial plot device. Myles's accidental self-transmission results in his awakening on Venus, where he learns he is among a slave race ruled by monstrous ant beings. The opening chapters introduce a mix of tension and intrigue as Myles battles both physical threats and the complexities of this new world. His plight deepens when he encounters a beautiful fairy-like creature, Princess Lilla, who captivates him, setting the stage for a battle not only for survival but also for love in this strange alien landscape.
