Life on other planets -- Fiction; Science fiction; Venus (Planet) -- Fiction
When Myles Cabot, inventor of radio transmission of matter, returned to
Venus he found himself alone on an unknown continent on that alien
planet. To get back to his old headquarters and his loved ones presented
some apparently impossible problems.
He’d have to settle a war between the near-primitive natives and an
unholy alliance of monsters, dinosaurs, and giant insects. He’d have to
build an electronic device from raw rocks and untapped resources. And if
he could succeed in all that, he’d still have to find his way home and
fight off a usurper’s diabolic conspiracy.
But Myles Cabot didn’t know the meaning of the word impossible!
ON THE WRONG SIDE OF VENUS
On Venus, the Radio Planet, nothing was impossible, it seemed to Myles
Cabot. He was beginning to get used to the dangerous monsters that
inhabited the planet, to know how to deal with them and the even
stranger intelligent insects among whom he found himself.
But the insects were his enemies, a race of creatures Cabot had driven
from their dominion over Cabot’s own people—yet here he was, fighting
side by side with the insect leaders in a desperate attempt to defend
their queen!
It was strange, unexpected ... but it was the only hope he had of
getting back to his own land and rescuing the beautiful Lilla, his young
son and his throne.
