Produktbeschreibung
The radio detectives centers on youthful ambition, technological curiosity, and the tension between discovery and danger. A young boy with a passion for building a crystal radio set finds encouragement in his home environment, where his interest in emerging technologies is seen as a worthy pursuit. This enthusiasm quickly develops into a collaborative effort with a close friend as the boys attempt to construct more advanced devices. Their scientific exploration takes an unexpected turn when they begin receiving cryptic radio transmissions. These mysterious signals shift the narrative from invention to investigation. The unfolding story follows the duo as they try to decode the strange messages, revealing traces of hidden plots and suspicious activity. The novel blends the wonder of early radio experimentation with the suspense of a developing mystery, capturing how tools meant for communication can unexpectedly become instruments of revelation. The characters are propelled by both curiosity and moral resolve, making their journey one of intellectual growth and ethical choice. Through dialogue, experimentation, and unexpected consequences, the boys are drawn deeper into a situation where their knowledge and courage must meet real-world challenges.
Autorenporträt
Alpheus Hyatt Verrill was an American writer, zoologist, illustrator, explorer, and inventor whose career bridged both scientific inquiry and imaginative storytelling. Born in New Haven, Connecticut, he was the son of Addison Emery Verrill, the first professor of zoology at Yale University, which deeply influenced his lifelong passion for natural history. Verrill became widely known for his prolific authorship, producing an extensive body of work ranging from detailed guides on minerals, insects, and ancient civilizations to speculative fiction exploring futuristic technologies and lost worlds. His background in science lent credibility to his writings, allowing him to blend factual detail with adventure in a style that appealed to both children and adults. As an illustrator, he contributed artwork to scientific and literary publications, further demonstrating his multidisciplinary talents. Though best remembered for his science fiction and juvenile adventure novels, Verrill also made meaningful contributions to educational literature. His legacy remains one of curiosity, broad knowledge, and a deep interest in bridging scientific observation with creative imagination.
