1906
The Invasion of 1910, written by William Le Queux and first published in 1906, is a historical fiction novel that imagines a German invasion of England. The narrative follows sub-editors Fergusson and Baines as they uncover the chaos of a military attack on London, highlighting Britain's unpreparedness for war. This work is notable for its exploration of the anxieties surrounding military conflict and national defense during a time of rising tensions between Germany and Britain, and it was serialized in the Daily Mail, reflecting contemporary fears of invasion.

“Would not some effort be made to repel the invaders? Surely if we had lost our command of the sea the War Office could, by some means, assemble sufficient men to at least protect London? This was the cry of the wild, turbulent crowd surging through the City and West End, as the blood-red sun sank into the west, flooding London in its warm afterglow--a light in the sky that was prophetic of red ruin and of death to those wildly excited millions.””
— William Le Queux
