Summary "The Invisible Master" by Edmond Hamilton is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. At its core, the story revolves around the intriguing concept of invisibility, exploring the implications and consequences of such a power when it falls into the wrong hands. The narrative delves into themes of crime, fear, and the intricacies of human nature as societal panic unfolds due to the unprecedented abilities of a villain known as the Invisible Master. The plot follows Charlie Carton, a reporter who witnesses a remarkable demonstration by Dr. Howard Grantham, a physicist claiming to have discovered a method of making objects invisible. However, when Grantham's invention is stolen, chaos ensues in New York City as the Invisible Master emerges, committing audacious robberies and a murder in rapid succession. As law enforcement grapples with the reality of an invisible criminal on the loose, it becomes apparent that the true mastermind may not be the figure of horror they imagine. In a twist, it is revealed that Grantham orchestrated the entire scheme to fund his research and ensure his theories were taken seriously, leading to catastrophic consequences that stemmed from the fear he cultivated within society.
