Accidentally transmitted to Venus, a man wakes naked on a world ruled by giant, dictatorial ant-men.

Ralph Milne Farley's 1924 pulp classic (first serialized as 'The Radio Man') sends Myles Cabot to a Venus of man-eating plants, tiger-sized spiders, and insect overlords who keep humanity as slaves, until an angry Earthman shows what he can do. Rousing Burroughs-style planetary romance that launched a beloved series. Read it for full-blooded golden-age adventure on a gloriously perilous Venus.
