Fred M. White - The Doom of London: "That night London was as a city of the dead"

More about the book

The life of Fred Merrick White, born in 1859 in England, reflects a transition from aspiring solicitor to prolific author. After his father's imprisonment in the late 1880s, White pursued writing, achieving success as a journalist and novelist by 1891. His works, often serialized in popular magazines, showcased his talent for blending science with adventure. The impact of World War I, particularly through the experiences of his sons, deeply influenced his writing, notably in "The Seed of Empire." He spent his later years in Devon, where he continued to write until his death in 1935.
