S. P. Meek is a scientific thriller written during the early 1930s. The book revolves around the urgent efforts of Dr. Bird and his companions as they confront a newly emerging and deadly form of gas that causes havoc at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, linked to a nefarious plot by a Russian chemist, Ivan Saranoff. The story combines elements of mystery, scientific exploration, and action against a backdrop of national security concerns. In "Poisoned Air," the narrative kicks off with a sudden outbreak of a deadly gas that afflicts members of the military at a testing ground.

They discover that the fog contains a new form of oxygen—a dangerous compound that was deliberately released. With a determined effort, they work to treat the affected individuals and prevent further exposure, while facing off against Saranoff's forces.
