Review:
One of the most remarkably talented writers around (Washington Post)
[This novel is] closely based on the extraordinary TV series, far and away the finest thing the medium has done in this genre; while Disch himself is one of the best SF writers (Observer)
McKellen delivers a riveting performance as the fear-inducing Number Two. This remake is smart and quick, and succeeds in ways that the original did not. There's more urgency to the storytelling, and a faster pace - accelerating the viewing thrill. (The Telegraph)

'Be seeing you.'
This is the classic novel of the TV series The Prisoner, by acclaimed author Thomas M. Disch.
Combining the power of a great spy thriller with Orwellian science fiction, The Prisoner follows a former British secret agent who has quit the force, only to find himself trapped in an anonymous place called the Village.
Known only as 'Number 6,' he struggles to maintain his identity in the face of the nameless powers-that-be, who use increasingly terrifying methods to extract his secrets.

First published in 1968, this new edition celebrates the long-awaited remake of The Prisoner by ITV1 and the producers of Mad Men, starring Sir Ian McKellen and Jim Caviezel

Book Description Rebound. Condition: Poor. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Weaver, Richard (illustrator). First Edition. Ex-library copy in library binding. I believe this is slightly smaller than the original boards so the jacket will have been cut down to fit. Boards have light corner bumping. The top edges of the pages have yellow colouring. Label residue and surface tearing to the front pastedown and front free endpaper. Library stamps to the front pastedown and the copyright page. Reinforcing tape along the hinges at the front and rear endpapers which have some browning. Browning and light marking to the page edges but the pages are largely otherwise clean and unmarked. Jacket has browning to the spine where the red lettering is faded. Chipping to the top corners and at the top of the spine. Creasing to the outer edges of the front and rear panels and there is a little staining to the top right corner of the front panel. Jacket design by Richard Weaver. First printing.
