| Summary | "Radio Mates" by Benjamin Witwer is a science fiction novella written in the early 20th century, characterized by its exploration of themes related to radio technology and the possibility of transmitting living beings through space. Set against the backdrop of burgeoning scientific advancements of that era, the narrative intertwines romance, betrayal, and the ethical dilemmas posed by innovation. The book likely delves into the implications of such scientific potential, offering insights into both human relationships and technological consequences. The story revolves around a character named Bromley Cranston, who, after returning from a lengthy expedition, discovers that his former fiancée, Venice Potter, has married Howard Marsden. Crushed by betrayal and driven by a desire for revenge, Cranston creates a groundbreaking process that can transmit physical objects and living beings through the ether. Tension escalates as Cranston's plans unfold, particularly when he aims to transmit Venice, believing she will be freed from her loveless marriage to Marsden. However, things take an unexpected turn after a series of events involving Cranston's experiment and Marsden’s descent into madness. The novella combines elements of love, desperation, and the struggle between personal desire and moral responsibility, culminating in a haunting exploration of loss and longing amplified by technological wizardry.
