The Invisible Agent is the debut children's novel from R. B. Maxwell. When the crash-landing of an alien spaceship unravels a chain of events, a new division of MI6 is created for the housing, protection and training of selected super-agents and police dogs. Top agent 001, Max the teenage super spy, is tasked with a mission to infiltrate the home of Beckingham City's Lord Mayor, Alfred Hoxley, in an attempt to capture the international criminal X. When Max's operation is thrown into turmoil, he must work against the clock to salvage the mission by picking up the small threads he has left. And when Max discovers a criminal organisation involved in fraud, he becomes their target. Max closes in but the organisation is one step ahead of him. When Max's Achilles heel is revealed, the criminals have the upper hand to eliminate his super powers and put his life in jeopardy. Will Max escape with his life and catch the criminals? Inspired by Anthony Horowitz's 'Alex Rider' series, The Invisible Agent is a gripping action story which will appeal to young readers aged 9-11 years.

It would be easy for the modern reader to conclude that women had no place in the world of early modern espionage, with a few seventeenth-century women spies identified and then relegated to the footnotes of history. If even the espionage carried out by Susan Hyde, sister of Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, during the turbulent decades of civil strife in Britain can escape the historiographer's gaze, then how many more like her lurk in the archives? Nadine Akkerman's search for an answer to this question has led to the writing of Invisible Agents, the very first study to analyse the role of early modern women spies, demonstrating that the allegedly-male world of the spy was more than merely infiltrated by women. This compelling and ground-breaking contribution to the history of espionage details a series of case studies in which women — from playwright to postmistress, from lady-in-waiting to laundry woman — acted as spies, sourcing and passing on confidential information on account of political and religious convictions or to obtain money or power. The struggle of the She-Intelligencers to construct credibility in their own time is mirrored in their invisibility in modern historiography. Akkerman has immersed herself in archives, libraries, and private collections, transcribing hundreds of letters, breaking cipher codes and their keys, studying invisible inks, and interpreting riddles, acting as a modern-day Spymistress to unearth plots and conspiracies that have long remained hidden by history.

Invisible Agents shows how personal and deeply felt spiritual beliefs can inspire social movements and influence historical change. Conventional historiography concentrates on the secular, materialist, or moral sources of political agency. Instead, David M. Gordon argues, when people perceive spirits as exerting power in the visible world, these beliefs form the basis for individual and collective actions. Focusing on the history of the south-central African country of Zambia during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, his analysis invites reflection on political and religious realms of action in other parts of the world, and complicates the post-Enlightenment divide of sacred and profane. The book combines theoretical insights with attention to local detail and remarkable historical sweep, from oral narratives communicated across slave-trading routes during the nineteenth century, through the violent conflicts inspired by Christian and nationalist prophets during colonial times, and ending with the spirits of Pentecostal rebirth during the neoliberal order of the late twentieth century. To gain access to the details of historical change and personal spiritual beliefs across this long historical period, Gordon employs all the tools of the African historian. His own interviews and extensive fieldwork experience in Zambia provide texture and understanding to the narrative. He also critically interprets a diverse range of other sources, including oral traditions, fieldnotes of anthropologists, missionary writings and correspondence, unpublished state records, vernacular publications, and Zambian newspapers. Invisible Agents will challenge scholars and students alike to think in new ways about the political imagination and the invisible sources of human action and historical change.

A mysterious stranger arrives at a quiet country inn at night. He is fully clothed, with even his face swathed in bandages. With the arrival of this stranger, bizarre incidents start happening in the neighbourhood - doors open and close on their own, voices are heard but no one is seen - a case of vox et praeterea nihil, that is, 'voice and nothing more'. As the story progresses, the strange changes to the macabre. A scientist conducts a seemingly impossible experiment on himself and becomes invisible. However, not only his body, but his mind also transforms for the worse. He becomes a homicidal maniac, with a complete disregard for human life or property. His first appearance is in the neighbourhood of Iping, where he arrives fully clothed and wrapped up in bandages. His demeanour evokes the curiosity of the landlady of the Coaches and Horses inn, where he lodges. His unusual behaviour gradually incites the curiosity of the locals, like Mr Cuss who goes to 'interview' the stranger only to have his nose 'nipped' by an invisible thumb and finger. Gradually, the stranger exploits his power of invisibility to steal at the vicarage, terrorize the local people, and finally escape the neighbourhood of Iping amidst much chaos and confusion. However, he is not able to take his belongings with him. He then employs the services of a tramp, Mr Marvel, whom he subjects to threats and corporal punishment to retrieve his books from the Coaches and Horses. As Marvel does his bidding, the Invisible Man helps him escape the village by hurting a lot of people. Eventually, the existence of the Invisible Man flashes in the newspapers, which concerns Marvel greatly, as the latter has been his accomplice in creating the ruckus in Iping. Marvel finally betrays him, making off with the money that the Invisible Man had stolen and put in his pocket, as well as the books that he had retrieved from the inn. In pursuit of the defector, the Invisible Man gets hurt and takes shelter in the house of a fellow scientist, Dr Kemp. It is at Dr Kemp's house that the Invisible Man reveals his identity as Griffin, a student who was Kemp's junior at the University. Griffin tells Kemp about his experiment, and expects the latter to be sympathetic to his cause, as both are men of science. However, Dr Kemp soon finds out about Griffin's acts of violence from the various newspaper reports. Realizing that the Invisible Man was a homicidal maniac, Kemp decides to hand him over to the authorities. He writes a letter to a colonel, and with his efforts, the long run of rampage of the Invisible Man is brought to an end. The Invisible Man was initially published in a serialized format in the Pearson's Weekly in 1897. The same year, all the pieces were compiled and published as a novel. Since its first publication, the novel has captured the imagination of readers and audiences around the world. In it H G Wells spins a gripping tale of psychological terror, wherein a scientist who cannot reverse his own experiment must now inhabit a world where he is unseen - a world that is to be the crucible of his Reign of Terror. The novel has been adapted into films, TV series, drama, radio, and cartoons. Furthermore, the story has led to new sequels and derivatives such as The Invisible Man Returns, The Invisible Woman, The Invisible Agent, The Invisible Man's Revenge, Memoirs of an Invisible Man, and many others."

Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Ethnology / Cultural Anthropology, grade: 1,0, University of Freiburg (Institut für Ethnologie), language: English, abstract: Based on the topic of human-environment relation, I am going to delve into the question of who is subjectively identified as a ‘supernatural agent’ and what type and scope of agency is attributed. In the context of the seminar that also asks about the connection to COVID-related healing practices, I will then link the concept of supernatural agency with phenomena of health. Thereupon I want to present the methods and findings of my research following the guideline question: How do religious actors in Germany and Indonesia connect their belief with medical action against the Covid-19 pandemic?, focusing on Christian actors in Germany. Toward the end of 2019, a tiny entity given the name SARS-CoV-2, overpowered the world with a relentless ferocity that sharply exposed the vulnerability of modern human civilization. A belief in the superiority of our species, in the progressiveness of modern social systems, in the achievements in technology and medicine, could not save us from the power of “one of nature’s most miniscule members". With the ongoing spread and unpredictable mutation of the COVID-19 virus, a global war has been declared on something biologically not even classified as a living being, and states mobilize all resources to regain control. This ‘invisible agent’ challenges our personal lives and state action just as much as the postulated separation between humanity and ‘nature’. Not only must we acknowledge the virus as a more-than-human global actor in contrast to humans as being the only forceful agents “acting upon a passive world”, its assumed origin in zoonosis also marks a point of fusion between human and non-human realms, and therefore can be seen as a reinforcement of entanglement that transcends nature/culture dichotomy.
