"The Great Drought" by Capt. S. P. Meek is an early science fiction story centered on a catastrophic drought ravaging the United States, where the line between scientific discovery and malevolent intent blurs. The narrative follows Dr. Bird, a determined scientist, as he spearheads an Air Force mission to find the cause of the drought, suspecting the wicked Ivan Saranoff of manipulating the atmosphere with disruptive particles that block rainfall. As planes fail and tension rise, Bird and his crew race against time to locate Saranoff's hidden base and thwart his villainous scheme, fighting both nature and a cunning adversary. Loyalty and inner resolve of Thelma Andrews add layers to the moral and scientific challenges in a story that mixes high-flying action with suspense.
