A vengeful scientist uses his brilliant discovery to unleash terror on
the world in this timeless science fiction classic from an
early-twentieth-century master The scientific community has always
shunned William Carpenter. A strange, hulking giant, a talented
biochemical investigator, and the self-styled “greatest mind in the
western world,” he has locked himself inside a house with no
windows, in the most desolate reaches of New Jersey, where he can
conduct his experiments in peace and isolation. Here in his personal
sanctuary, Carpenter has found something astonishing that could alter
life on Earth as we know it: a chemical compound that can render all
matter invisible, from rocks to plants to people. But the twisted
genius has no intention of using this breakthrough to benefit the
planet. Instead, he is about to declare war on all humankind by
launching an unseen campaign of terror and destruction. For years the
world has ignored William Carpenter, labeling him insane, sociopathic,
or worst of all, insignificant. And now the world will have to pay.
The early works of novelist, editor, short story writer, essayist, and
screenwriter Philip Wylie were primary influences on the creation of
characters like Flash Gordon, Superman, and Travis McGee. First
published in 1931, The Murderer Invisible takes H. G. Wells’s
classic Invisible Man several giant leaps further, resulting in a
chilling tale of madness and science run amok that is at once a
gripping adventure and a prescient commentary on man and society.
