Douglas Morey Ford

Born in 1851, Douglas Morey Ford was an English writer who also worked as a barrister. He published fiction as well as legal works, giving him an unusual career that joined professional expertise with a lively gift for narrative.

Ford is remembered for novels such as The Raid of Dover, an early future-war story, and A Time of Terror, along with other adventure and historical works. His books often leaned toward drama and high stakes, and they reflect the late Victorian and Edwardian appetite for thrilling, fast-moving fiction.

He died in 1916. Though not as widely known today as some of his contemporaries, his writing still attracts readers interested in overlooked popular fiction, especially early speculative and invasion literature.
