Review:
"[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
From the Back Cover:
'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.

'Disch was one of the most remarkably talented writers'
