The Invasion of 1910 is a 1906 novel written mainly by William Le Queux. It is one of the more famous examples of Invasion literature. It is viewed by some as an example of pre-World War I Germanophobia. It can also be viewed as prescient, as it preached the need to prepare for war with Germany. The novel was originally commissioned by Alfred Harmsworth as a serial which appeared in the Daily Mail from 19 March 1906. The story rewritten to feature towns and villages with high Daily Mail readership, greatly increased the newspaper's circulation and made a small fortune for Le Queux; it was translated into twenty-seven languages, and over one million copies of the book edition were sold. The idea for the novel is alleged to have originated from Field Marshal Earl Roberts, who regularly lectured English schoolboys on the need to prepare for war. The book takes the form of a military history.

The Invasion of 1910 & The Great War in England in 1897. What if German forces landed on the east coast of England and advanced on London while the British were struggling and weak? Such is the premise of William Le Queux's "The Invasion of 1910", one of the most popular "invasion fiction" novels in history. The novel revolves around Germany's rising naval power and its threat to Britain, a country unprepared for war politically, physically and psychologically. As the Germans occupy half of London, a junior Parliamentarian declares "Britain is not defeated." A newly formed Army liberates London, but the war is far from over. "The Invasion" was published in the Daily Mail in 1906 as tension of battleship construction threatened to erupt into military conflict between Germany and Britain. While the books' literary value may be questionable, the novel proved a massive hit in 1906, catapulting the Daily Mail into the limelight. Le Queux's novel is written in a journalistic style, without main characters - aside from the odd general or politician - and this proved wildly successful with readers, turning "The Invasion" into one of the most successful future war stories since The Battle of Dorking in 1871. This edition also incorporates Le Queux's earlier novel "The Great War in England in 1897", one of his earliest invasion-fiction novels. In the "Great War", France and Russia invade Britain, and the patriots battle back with the aid of German forces. Britain seizes Algeria and Russia's Central Asia, while Germany controls mainland France, leaving the two new superpowers to dominate Europe.
