William Le Queux was a published author of fiction.
Le Queux was born on July 2, 1864 in London. His father was an assistant to a French draper, while his mother was English. The author received his education in Europe, going to Paris to study art with Ignazio Spiridon. While in Germany and France, he would walk around quite a bit. He was able to make some money to support himself for a time as a writer for the French newspapers. One of his stories got the attention of Emile Zola, French writer, and he encouraged William to write on a full time basis.
He would go back to London in the late 1880s. There he worked as an editor for magazines before coming to The Globe, a newspaper, in 1891 as part of their staff. Two years later he chose to give up his post as part of his choice to focus more on traveling and writing than journalism. He packed his bags and visited places like North Africa, Russia, the Near East, the Sudan, and Egypt. He wrote for the Daily Mail from 1912 to 1913 as their correspondent, covering the Balkan War. He also honed his revolver shooting skills along the way.
Le Queux first became a published author with a novel for the first time in 1891, when Guilty Bonds was published. The book involved a plot that featured Russia and political conspiracy, to the point where Russia banned it. His next work would be published in 1892 and is Strange Tales of a Nihilist, a short stories collection.
He would continue writing books until he died, and even then several books were published posthumously. William was a prodigious writer and put out an incredible amount of novels that were published for years one after the other. Many of his stories focused on espionage and the rumor was that he was part of the British Secret Service, serving as a wireless transmission expert. He himself claimed he was the first when it comes to wireless experimentation to broadcast from his station (1920-1921 in Guildford). He served also as the Wireless Experimental Association’s president and belonged to the Institute of Radio Engineers.
He wrote an autobiography that came out in 1923. He belonged to the Consult of the Republic of San Marino and also collected monastic seals and medieval manuscripts. William was the writer of The White Lie, adapted into a 1914 movie. Also adapted were the 1914 movie short The Raid of 1915, the 1915 Sons of Satan, the 1915 film Sadounah which he co-directed, and also material that made up an episode of The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes.
Le Queux passed away on October 13, 1927 in Belgium after a long illness.
The Invasion of 1910 is a novel by William Le Queux published in 1906. This book goes into the idea of German Forces and the question of what would happen if they went to London after landing on England’s east coast in a time of weakness for the British.
This intelligent premise makes up the basis of this invasion fiction novel, which was immensely popular at the time. It focuses on the naval power that Germany is accruing and how it may threaten Britain, which is characterized as unready for war. The Germans advance to occupy half of the city. While a new Army is able to liberate London, the battle is not yet ended.
At the time, the Daily Mail published the story while battleship construction tension was possibly going to evolve into Germany and Britain having conflict on a military basis. The book was popular with readers and the journalistic style of the book made it a hit. Read it for yourself to catch all of the thrilling action.
The Crooked Way is another fictional novel from Le Queux, published in 1908. If you are looking for a classic story involving murder and mystery, this is the book for you!
There are tons of twists and turns included in this murder mystery story and it was this novel that helped to solidify the author’s reputation as a writer of murder dramas. It’s a turn of the century thriller that will have readers on the edge of their seats!
Two friends that have known each other for a long time decide to meet in London at The Savoy to have dinner. These are in the days before the first great war has started. Arthur’s father has a business in coal mining in South Wales and he is the only beneficiary, making him very rich. That day he found out that Roy Royston has some serious news.
Roy is the one joining him for dinner. He works as a broker for the stock exchange and is known for being relaxed and the more extroverted of the two of them. However, his bad news is that he’s run into financial trouble, and it’s bad. Arthur decides to help and presents him with a loan of ten thousand at dinner, which goes a long way. For one, Roy is no longer going to take his own life as he had planned that night.
There with them that night at dinner is Helene. She’s a long lost love of Roy and a beautiful woman. They had met earlier in France and fallen for each other. But their separation meant that Helene would go on to meet Arthur, and he would take Roy’s place in her heart instead. Roy must get over this and promises himself that he’ll be friends with the two, who are now married.
They are all dining together when a message interrupts them. Arthur must go to South Wales for business. This leaves Roy and Helene alone together. Roy decides to visit her later that night, hoping to tell her a secret that threatens to ruin her reputation. He goes to her London house, but while together, they hear noises and Roy decides to go out on the veranda to hide.
He decides to try and leave eventually through a window, but a policeman is passing by and he stumbles into him. When they go into her house, they find Helene dead, viciously murdered. They arrest Roy, but who is the culprit? Can he prove his innocence? Read this novel to find out!
