Troyana

Troyana (1932) – In this, the sequel to The Drums of Tapajos, Nankivell brings the adventurers back to Troyana to save it from a rebellion by the black robed Atlanteans.

From the Introduction in Amazing Stories:
MUCH has been attributed to the possibilities to be found in the so-called Lost Island, Atlantis. Capt. Meek has more than hinted at some of these possible wonders in his “The Drums of Tapajos,” but in this sequel, which comes as a direct compliance with the numerous demands for it, this favorite author gives us ideas and theories galore, weaving all into a plausible science fiction narrative of rare merit.

Sterner St. Paul Meek (1894-1972) was an American military chemist, early science fiction author, and children’s author. He published much of his work first as Capt. S.P. Meek, then, briefly, as Major S.P. Meek and, after 1933, as Col. S.P. Meek.

When the United States entered World War I in 1917, Meek joined the military as a chemist and ordnance expert. He served as Chief, Small Arms Ammunition Research, in 1923-1926, and Chief Publications Officer, Ordnance Dept., in 1941-1945. He retired a colonel in 1947, at which point he became a full-time writer.
