- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5As is often the case with Edgar Wallace, not a lot of the plot really makes a hell of a lot of sense in this follow up to THE FOUR JUST MEN. It is, however, an interesting read as the story features a well organised group of terrorists threatening the safety of one of the most important cities of the world at the time, London, through an airborn attack by Zeppelin. Does that sound surprisingly familiar for a book written in 1908? The Zeppelins end up getting defeated by nothing more mundane than a bunch of well trained falcons. Also of interest: The story takes place in 1910, i.e. 2 years after the book was published, so a point could be made that we are dealing with a modest attempt at Science Fiction here.
