The Seven Secrets William Le Queux

William Tufnell Le Queux (1864-1927) 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 best-known works remain the anti-German invasion fantasies "The Great War in England in 1897" (1894) and "The Invasion of 1910" (1906), the latter of which was a phenomenal bestseller. "The Seven Secrets" was originally published in 1903.
