The Invisible Man

by H. G. Wells Narrated by Daniel Philpott

Overview

A stranger arrives in a small English town, wreathed in a hat, coat, goggles and bandages. It's not just his identity he's hiding, though; he has discovered the secret of invisibility, and believes it will lead him to ultimate power. But he needs to be able to control the process, and when the terrified villagers refuse to help him, he decides on bloody revenge. An immediate success when it first appeared, H.G. Wells's adventure is at once chilling and thrilling, and one of the undisputed classics of science fiction.

Editorial Reviews

A classic study of scientific hubris brought to destruction—THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SCIENCE FICTION

The Prospero of all the brave new worlds of the mind, and the Shakespeare of science fiction

Wells' scientific romances were works of art with unique relevance for our times

AudioFile

A harrowing read from cover to cover, The Invisible Man is perfect for the audio format.”

SFFaudio

The psychological rigor that Wells brings to the novel makes The Invisible Man quite possibly the first and last straight science fiction story worthy of our attentions.”
