London, Grant Richards, 1900. First edition, first impression. Paperback. A very good copy. "A Future war novel inspired by 'The Battle of Dorking' of a generation earlier; the French make a surprise invasion of England." [Locke, Spectrum II p10]. Some loss to the spine and separation to the paper, but still holding tightly. A couple of nicks and short tears, slight lean and a little foxing to the foreedge. [11662, Hyraxia Books].
