He wrote two novels that Asimov felt were his best work: The Drums of Tapajos and its sequel Troyana. Bird series which I wrote about at length here. The Microscopic Series, that Isaac Asimov talked about in Before The Golden Age (1974) and the Dr. During the Pulp years, he held the rank of Captain. He retired from the army in 1947, a colonel.
He served in WWI as a chemist and ordinance expert. Meek was qualified to write SF because he was a military chemist. He appeared in sixteen out of twenty issues of Harry Bates’ Astounding Stories of Super-Science.
You ask a Pulp fan like myself, he wrote the most entertaining SF of 1930. Delany, he wrote “incredibly bad” Science Fiction. Before hard cover success he wrote Science Fiction. Meek (1894-1972), if you were to look him up on Google, would most likely come up as the author of Jerry, the Adventures of an Army Dog (1932).
