Summary "Mr. Meek—Musketeer" by Clifford D. Simak is a science fiction novel written during the early to mid-20th century. The story follows Oliver Meek, a timid middle-aged bookkeeper who, after many years of dreaming about adventure among the stars, embarks on an extraordinary journey into the Solar System. With a rocket ship and a desire for exploration, he finds himself caught up in unexpected peril and excitement, leading him to confront dangers he never anticipated. The narrative centers around Oliver Meek, who, disillusioned with his mundane life, seizes the opportunity to travel beyond Earth. Upon arriving at the chaotic Asteroid City, he accidentally reveals a surprising talent for gunfighting when he defends himself against a local thug. This unwitting act thrusts him into a role as a reluctant marshal, as the townspeople implore him to rid their city of the criminal element. Along the way, he encounters the mysterious Asteroid Prowler and discovers it has a connection to ancient alien inscriptions found nearby. Ultimately, his journey of self-discovery and heroism culminates in a blend of humor, danger, and an exploration of life's unpredictable nature, demonstrating that even the most unassuming individuals can rise to challenges with courage and ingenuity.
