From: Slocum@HI-MULTICS.ARPA

 The Prisoner books are as follows:

The Prisoner by Thomas M. Disch, New English Library, 1980?, $2.95, pb

The Prisoner: A Day in the Life by Hank Stine, NEL, 1981?, $3.95, pb

The Prisoner: Who is Number Two? by David McDaniel, NEL, 1982?, $4.50, pb
 (also published by ACE as The Prisoner: Number Two?)

The copyright notices in these books mention that these were all
published by ACE from 1969-1970. I have read the first one, and it does
very well at capturing the essence of the series.  And it starts after
the series.

I bought these within the last two years so you should be able to get
them at your local SF specialty bookstore, or any store that will order
for you. .  In Minneapolis, we have Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction
Bookstore, named for Hugo Gernsback.

Before  Patrick  McGoohan  played the Prisoner, he played another series
called Secret Agent.  Was there a tie in?  In the  theme  song  was  the
line, "They've given you a number and taken away your name."
