A physicist has three days to find the love of his life—so he decides to use the scientific method.
Love at Absolute Zero is a smart, funny novel about love, science, and what happens when logic meets the irrational. What begins as an experiment becomes something far less predictable—and far more human.
Inside the novel:
• A speed-dating experiment modeled on data and probability
• A race against rival scientists to create new matter
• A love life spiraling out of control as equations fail
A Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Finalist, the novel has been called “laugh-out-loud funny” and “highly recommended” by readers.
"Watching Gunnar and his band of nerds apply the scientific method to romance will keep you laughing and deliciously engaged.” — Lynn Hightower, author of High Water and Fortunes of the Dead
“It is impossible not to like Gunnar Gunderson.” — Sam Sattler, Book Chase
“As engaging as it is amusing, Love at Absolute Zero is, ultimately, a heartfelt study of the tension between head and heart, science and emotion, calculation and chance.” — Marc Schuster, Small Press Reviews
“Meeks ups the ante by tossing philosophy, anthropology, hashish, and love (with a capital L) into the mix. And while we’re so sorry, Uncle Albert, in Love at Absolute Zero, Meeks succeeds absolutely.” — Philip Persinger, author of Do the Math

From the rear cover: "LOVE AT ABSOLUTE ZERO is the story of Gunnar Gunderson, a 32-year-old star physicist at the University of Wisconsin. The moment he's given tenure at the university, he can think of only one thing: finding a wife. His research falters into what happens to matter near absolute zero (-459.67 F), but he has an instant new plan. To meet his soul mate within three days - that's what he wants and all time he can carve out - he will use the Scientific Method. His research team will help. Can Gunnar survive his quest?"  'It is impossible not to like Gunnar Gunderson, says critic Sam Sattler of Book Chase. As Gunnar progresses from one disaster or near miss to the next, one views him with a mixture of compassion and laughter, but he is such a good-hearted young man that it is impossible not to root for him.' 'The magical thing, says reviewer Grady Harp (Top Ten on Amazon) is that Meeks makes us really care about this strange bright naà ve nerd.''As engaging as it is amusing, LOVE AT ABSOLUTE ZERO is, ultimately, a heartfelt study of the tension between the head and heart, science and emotion, calculation and chance.' - Marc Schuster, Small Press Reviews.'The author hit a home run.
