"The Invasion" by William Le Queux is a gripping story set in the early 1900s, painting a picture of England caught off guard by a sudden military attack from Germany. The story kicks off with some London journalists, Fergusson and Baines, noticing some weird problems with communication and they suspect something is not right. It's a quiet Sunday, but an unsettling series of communication breakdowns across the country hints at a much bigger, scarier problem. When a guy driving his car reports seeing people messing with telegraph lines, they realize that German soldiers are invading. The book creates suspense as the news spreads through a communication center, when London is unaware of the impending disaster, and the book creates a sense of urgency and tension that draws the reader into a scenario of chaos and fear.
