By Wells, H. G
0 - Default Title
Description
Driven by obsession, gifted physicist Griffin cracks the secret of light and refraction, turning his own body into vaporous stealth.

As the countryside reels from unseen attacks, former colleague Dr. Kemp must choose between friendship and stopping a monster.
