Book Reviews of The Prisoner: The Prisoner's Dilemma
Book Review: Really disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
Having read the glowing reviews on here, I was really looking forward to this book. I'm guessing the other reviewers were just happy to have a new Prisoner story, since The Prisoner a) only had 17 episodes; and b) ended in the late 60's. Beyond getting a new story about the Prisoner, though, the book is really pretty terrible. In the first few pages, there's a murder that sets up the rest of the book. Unfortunately, that murder is the only thing happens. The remaining hundreds of pages are Number Six and his new galpal 18 walking back and forth, interviewing people, and shooting each other sarcastic one-liners. That's it. The Prisoner was about a lot more than just snappy come-backs and I don't think it's unreasonable to expect something to actually happen in a story after the initial plot point. Overall, it wasn't the worst thing ever written, but if my copy accidentally fell into my cat's litter box, I wouldn't make an effort to retrieve it.
Summary of 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.Book Subjects
