Havoc (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Havoc is a fictional novel written by E. Phillips Oppenheim. Havoc arises when European nations start discussing covert alliances. The development of a covert alliance between Germany, Russia, and Austria is the central theme of the narrative. The English want to divide Russia by holding the Czar to his prior public commitments, but they require evidence of the actions taken to put pressure on him. All the factors that contributed to WWI are present, but the intrigues and covert agreements provide an intriguing backdrop for the plot's twists and turns. There will be numerous deaths and a change of ownership before the book is finished. Oppenheim blends a tale of financial failure, murder, and thievery in The City of London into this political backdrop.

Autor

Phillips Oppenheim was born on October 22, 1866, in Tohhenham, London, England, to Henrietta Susannah Temperley Budd and Edward John Oppenheim, a leather retailer. After leaving school at age 17, he helped his father in his leather business and used to write in his extra time. His first novel, Expiration (1886), and subsequent thrillers piqued the interest of a wealthy New York businessman who eventually bought out the leather business and made Oppenheim a high-paid director.He is more focused on dedicating most of his time to writing. The novels, volumes of short stories, and plays that followed, numbering more than 150, were about humans with modern heroes, fearless spies, and stylish noblemen. The Long Arm of Mannister (1910), The Moving Finger (1911), and The Great Impersonation (1920) are three of his most famous essays.
