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. Brett Slocum ARPA: Slocum@HI-MULTICS.ARPA UUCP: ...ihnp4!umn-cs!hi-csc!slocum

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."
