The Bomb Makers, Classics To Go

In the novel 'The Bomb-Makers' by William Le Queux, readers are transported to a world of espionage and intrigue, where even the most innocent-looking people could be harboring dark secrets. The story begins in a dingy restaurant in Soho, where Theodore Drost and his friend Ernst Ortmann are discussing the danger posed by Theodore's daughter Ella. As a rising star in London's revue scene, Ella has unwittingly become involved with a group of bomb-makers with ties to Germany. Can Theodore and Ernst stop her before it's too late?

William Le Queux

William Tufnell Le Queux (2 July 1864 – 13 October 1927) was an Anglo-French journalist and writer. He was also a diplomat (honorary consul for San Marino), a traveller (in Europe, the Balkans and North Africa), a flying buff who officiated at the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909, and a wireless pioneer who broadcast music from his own station long before radio was generally available; his claims regarding his own abilities and exploits, however, were usually exaggerated. His best-known works are the anti-French and anti-Russian invasion fantasy The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) and the anti-German invasion fantasy The Invasion of 1910 (1906), the latter becoming a bestseller.
