Summary: "The Great Drought" by Capt. S. P. Meek is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a significant drought affecting the United States, exploring themes of scientific exploration and the clash between good and evil. The narrative primarily focuses on the character of Dr. Bird, a scientist who is investigating the roots of this environmental crisis, suggesting that a malevolent individual may be manipulating weather patterns. The plot follows Dr. Bird as he leads an airforce operation to uncover the cause of the drought, suspecting that the villain Ivan Saranoff is responsible for introducing negative particles into the atmosphere to prevent rainfall. After several planes suffer mechanical failures due to this interference, Bird and his team scramble to locate Saranoff's hidden base and ultimately put an end to his sinister plans. The narrative combines action, technology, and suspense, culminating in a confrontation between Bird and Saranoff, with the fate of the drought-stricken country hanging in the balance. The book also addresses themes of loyalty and emotional control through the character of Thelma Andrews, whose involvement adds a layer of complexity to the scientific and moral dilemmas faced by the protagonists.
