Talk:William Le Queux

This was cut:

Le Queux is a founder of those types of genre fiction; other comparable authors are E. Phillips Oppenheim, Guy Boothby, Louis Tracy, Edgar Wallace, John Buchan and "Sapper".

I would not characterise that as POV, as per the edit summary. And it strikes me as more encyclopedic than tenuous speculation about James Bond's possible connection.

Wired Magazine (Aug 2012) has an article on Le Queux that says he created the genre and inspired Ian Fleming's James Bond series. DOR (HK) (talk) 08:17, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Inaccurate

"His best-known works are 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."

One can hardly call The Great War in England in 1897 anti-German; it portrays the Germans as Britain's allies against France and Russia. That's the very thing that makes it interesting! 82.176.202.53 (talk) 12:35, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
