The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) is a novel by Anglo-French
writer William Le Queux. Published at the height of Le Queux's
career as a leading author of popular thrillers, The Great War in
England in 1897 is a story of broken alliances, resistance, and
international conflict. Using his own research and experience as a
journalist and adventurer, Le Queux crafts an accessible,
entertaining world for readers in search of a literary escape.
Known for his works of fiction and nonfiction on the possibility of
Germany invading Britain-a paranoia common in the early twentieth
century-William Le Queux also wrote dozens of thrillers and
adventure novels for a dedicated public audience. Although critical
acclaim eluded him, popular success made him one of England's
bestselling writers. In The Great War in England in 1897, a large
Russian-French occupying force lands undetected on the coast of
England. Having formed an alliance in secret, they make swift gains
across England until reaching London, which they take control of
with little difficulty. Shocked, defeated, and hemorrhaging hope by
the day, the people of England look for their leaders to do
anything to reverse their fate. Working in the shadows, a small
resistance movement begins taking shape, eventually forming an
alliance with Germany in order to not only free England of its
occupation, but force France and Russia to retreat from their
colonial gains around the world. Despite being rejected as alarmist
in its time, The Great War in England in 1897 would prove prescient
less than a decade after its publication with the outbreak of the
First World War. Although Le Queux would revisit the theme of
invasion throughout his career, his 1906 novel The Invasion of 1910
would virtually reverse the circumstances of The Great War in
England in 1897, having Germany take over the country instead. With
a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of William Le Queux's The Great War in England in 1897
is a classic novel reimagined for modern readers.
