Edgar Wallace was well-known for his passion for war fiction, no doubt inspired by his time as a journalist covering the Second Boer War. Wallace took his obsession with alternate realities to task in creating this stunning novel which imagines the world ten years after the First World War, where Germany is intent on breaking an uneasy peace. Rather prophetic. In this reality the Allies do not wait to be struck first and instead concoct a plan to draw the German army out, leaving their homeland completely defenceless. It is an incredibly fascinating read perfect for anyone who enjoyed ‘The Man in the High Castle’ or the YouTube series on ‘Alternate History Hub’.
Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was an English writer, poet and journalist. He was such a prolific writer that his publisher claimed his work could account for a quarter of all books sold in England. He wrote countless books, screenplays, poems and historical non-fiction, spawning over one hundred and sixty films based on his work. He unfortunately passed away suddenly before he could see his most famous creation ‘King Kong’ come to life. It has been adapted several times over the years, notably by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame, and more recently in ‘Godzilla vs Kong’ starring Millie Bobby Brown.
