William Le Queux
William Le Queux (1864-1927) was an Anglo-French journalist, novelist, and radio broadcaster. Born in London to a French father and English mother, Le Queux studied art in Paris and embarked on a walking tour of Europe before finding work as a reporter for various French newspapers. Towards the end of the 1880s, he returned to London where he edited Gossip and Piccadilly before being hired as a reporter for The Globe in 1891. After several unhappy years, he left journalism to pursue his creative interests. Le Queux made a name for himself as a leading writer of popular fiction with such espionage thrillers as The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) and The Invasion of 1910 (1906). In addition to his writing, Le Queux was a notable pioneer of early aviation and radio communication, interests he maintained while publishing around 150 novels over his decades long career.

Reviews for The Zeppelin Destroyer
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It is 1915 and England is under attack by German Zeppelins who are bombing the country with impunity. Claude Munro,his friend Teddy Ashton and Munroe's girl,Roseye Lethmere are all intrepid flyers. They are engaged upon a series of inventions,designed to halt the Zeppelin air superiority. They finally manage to invent a means of transmitting an electrical impulse that will blast the airships out of the sky. After several abortive attempts by German secret agents to sabotage this invention and to kill Claude,they kidnap Roseye and subject her to various unspecified tortures. So far so good - an exciting and original tale with excellent descriptions of aviation in it's fairly early days. Loses out a little when the German 'Invisible Hand' organization together with the leader,the 'woman with the leopard eyes',which started out so well,is quite simply dropped at the end of the book without further reference. It is nevertheless still a thrilling read.
