The Prisoner: The Prisoner’s Dilemma

THE PRISONER’S DILEMMA is the first in Powys Media’s new line of novels based on the classic television series, THE PRISONER. Things are changing in the Village–the charming holiday camp for the disappeared, the civilized prison 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 murderer… 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 best 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? THE PRISONER’S DILEMMA features a foreword by J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI, the multiple Hugo-Award-winning creator of BABYLON 5.
