Miss Freedom

The Prisoner's Dilemma
BACK PAGE BLURB:
Things are changing in the Village – the charming holiday camp for the disappeared, the civilized prisoner for those who know too much. The authorities have found new ways of exploiting community spirit . . . using a lost pioneer of computer science to put their stamp on the coming Information Age.
But then there’s Number 18.
She’s a number . . . for the best of reasons. She’s a bit of a collaborator, for reasons of her own. She’s fiercely protective of herself. And she may be Number 6’s chance of out-thinking the authorities’ newest attempt at control. But it all depends on what the Village’s masters are really aiming for.
Do they expect him to trust her . . . or destroy her?

BACK PAGE BLURB:
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; 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.

How Sweet Home—in the Village?
The man known as “Number 6” had been a top-level secret-agent—until he had suddenly and mysteriously resigned from his post. Then, just as inexplicably, he had been kidnapped and held prisoner in a bizarre 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 his life in his prison . . .

I am not a number! I am a man! A FREE MAN!
When THE PRISONER premiered on U.S. television, it brought forth from viewers more debate and enthusiasm than any other TV show within memory. Not exactly a spy series . . . not precisely science fiction . . . still it was acclaimed as the most exciting and imaginative series in television history.
Who is the prisoner known as, “Number 6”? Why has he been kidnapped and subtly held captive in the sinister fairy-tale town known only as The Village? What nation, or what secret agency, is behind his abduction? And is he truly a prisoner . . . or can he be, as he claims, a free man?
Once again these questions become crucial—for, having escaped from The Village for the first time, Number 6 has once more been captured . . . for the final time?
