| Summary |
"Poisoned Air" by Capt. 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. As Dr. Bird, a brilliant scientist, arrives at the scene, he teams up with a detective, Mr. Carnes, and some military personnel to uncover the cause of the poison. 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. The plot unfolds with a mix of scientific investigation, personal struggle, and a race against time, leading to thrilling confrontations and unexpected alliances.
