When a Boston radio experiment goes spectacularly wrong, Myles Cabot finds himself materialized naked on a hostile Venusian landscape. Giant carnivorous plants and monstrous spiders turn every step into a life‑or‑death gamble, while the planet’s true masters—towering, tyrannical ant‑people—watch his every move. Cabot’s quick wits keep him ahead of relentless hunters and give him a glimpse of the strange society ruled by insectoid overlords.
Amid the peril, he encounters Lilla, a delicate princess with Kewpie‑like wings, whose desperate plea for help sparks an unlikely alliance. Together they begin to unravel the secret that humanity exists only as a slave race beneath the ants’ iron grip. With daring ingenuity and a newfound love, Cabot prepares to strike back, promising a clash of Earthly stubbornness against alien tyranny that will keep listeners on the edge of every moment.
