About this Item

First edition. 8vo. Original pictorial boards, smartly rebacked in later blue cloth. A scarce 'future war' title, with only seven copies seemingly recorded in institutional holdings and no auction records we could trace. The work first appeared in serial form the same year: ".a relatively late Battle of Dorking tale, The Great Raid: A Story of Britain's Peril (13 February-15 May 1909 Black and White; 1909), with the German Invasion of Britain being narrated with a clear apprehension of the nature and possibilities of a Future War in Europe. Unusually for novels of this type during these years, there are hints of trench warfare." (The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction). The author was a journalist and author of ten works of popular fiction. Presumed particularly rare in the original boards. Seller Inventory # 85546
