THE LOST SCIENTIST AND THE KEWPIE-DOLL PRINCESS
The planet Venus is many millions of miles away from us, but for Myles Cabot of Boston it was too dangerously close! For a queer radio accident transmitted the young scientist instantaneously to that mystery world—unarmed, naked, and with no means to get home!
But Myles Cabot was an ingenious young man and when he got over his shock at finding himself in a world inhabited by eagle-sized bees, six-foot-high ants, and blood-thirsty flowers, he set out to carve himself a kingdom of his own.
There were people on that world, Kewpie-doll men and women, who seemed to be deaf and dumb—until he learned the odd secret of their bodies. These people were slaves of the all-powerful ants, and Myles Cabot realized that until he had overthrown their monster masters, there could be no safety for himself.
AN EARTHMAN ON VENUS is exciting adventure, a science-fiction thrill-o-minute novel by the well-known fantasy writer Ralph Milne Farley.
