The Invisible Man

The Invisible Man is a science fiction novel written by H. G. Wells in the 19th century. It features a scientist who discovers the means to render himself invisible.

Claude Rains played the scientist in a 1933 film adaptation. Trip Tucker was familiar with the film version. 

Jake Sisko owned a printed version of the novel. In 2376, it was one of several of his novels looked at by the Starfleet forensic behavioral specialists from Starfleet Headquarters who investigated his disappearance. Kira Nerys also looked at the books Jake was reading at the time to assess his frame of mind, but noted The Invisible Man wasn't much help in doing so.
