| Summary |
"The Radio Beasts" by Ralph Milne Farley is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the story of Myles Standish Cabot, a radio genius who once journeyed to the planet Venus and faced challenges that threaten the peace of his adopted world. As he delves into new adventures after returning to Earth, the narrative promises an exploration of themes involving loyalty, resilience, and the conflict between different races and cultures. The opening of the story introduces the protagonist, who reflects on a bizarre news item about a maniac interrupting a radio session at General Electric, which leads him to reminisce about Myles Cabot, an old friend who had previously disappeared. Upon encountering Cabot in a surprising reunion, the protagonist learns that Cabot's earlier adventures on Venus were indeed true and not a fabrication. The narrative sets the stage for future conflicts as Cabot reveals troubling developments and the resurgence of threats to the peace he fought to secure, with the fate of numerous characters hanging in the balance. This portion invites curiosity about the dynamics of Cabot's relationships, the nature of his past adventures, and the unfolding political tension on Venus.
