The Prisoner

The Prisoner: Book 1

Thomas M. Disch

He's a top-level agent, highly skilled and ultra-secret. But he wants out, and they won't let him quit. He quits anyway. Then suddenly comes the dawn when he wakes up in captivity, in a pleasant, old-style seaside town - one packed solid with electronic surveillance hardware.

This is The Village. And he is The Prisoner. If he was good enough, sharp enough to be a top-flight cloak-and-dagger man, is he good enough to escape the men who've chained his life to the wall?

The Prisoner #2

The Prisoner: Book 2

David McDaniel

Home Sweet Home -- is the village?

The man known as "Number 6" had been a top-level secret agent-until he had suddenly and mysterious resigned from his post. Then, just as inexplicably, he had been kidnapped and help prisoner in a bizzare old-fashioned Village where electronic eyes monitored his every move.

Time after time he had escaped, but each time he had been brought back. Yet he still persisted in his attempts to be a free man, for he had a force of will and an ingenuity that his captors had never seen before. How long could they hold him there?

Unless... unless, somehow, The Prisoner might come to enjoy life in his prison....

The Prisoner #3: A Day in the Life

The Prisoner: Book 3

Jean Marie Stine

"Number 6" had a chance to destroy the Village... if that was really possible...

In the Village there is:

A beach, a theater, a tennis court and an underground chamber from which mysterious men monitor every move.

Each day is like another in the Village:

A trip to the grocer's, a conversation with a Number, an escape attempt...

The Village -- a sinister Disneyland for people who know too much about critical government projects and so can never be set free.

And YOU are there.
