"Everyone's an individual now. Everyone's a rebel. Everyone does their own thing. You've inspired them all. To NOTHING."
Things are changing in the Village. 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 Village, as they pit themselves against 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? Released March 2005

About the Authors
JONATHAN BLUM is a native of Washington DC now living in Sydney, Australia. He has written or co-written three novels, a novella, a couple of radio plays, assorted short stories, and a direct-to-video feature film. His latest Doctor Who novella, Fallen Gods (now available from Telos Publications) has just won the 2003 Aurealis Award for Best Australian SF Novel. In 1998 Seeing I (written with his wife Kate Orman) won the Doctor Who Magazine poll for best Doctor Who novel of the year; their 1999 novel Unnatural History was also shortlisted for the Aurealis Award. Far more can be found out about him at the website he and Kate share.
RUPERT BOOTH exists. He is sure of that. No existential confusion for him, oh no. He is an actor and writer working at an independent production company in Durham, where they call him head of production because it sounds good. His short stories, generally co-written with Barry Williams, have appeared in a number of anthologies. He's also produced and/or directed a number of surrealist-comedy short films, one of which (Xylophone) was shot in Portmeirion, and others of which have been included on the BBC's Doctor Who DVDs.
He lives near Newcastle with a dog called Zardoz. Zardoz also exists.
J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI is best known as the multiple-Hugo-winning creator/producer/primary writer of Babylon 5, but this is only one piece of a career which spans prose (Demon Night, Othersyde), comics (Spider-Man, Midnight Nation, Rising Stars), audio (the Sci-Fi Channel's Seeing Ear Theater webcasts), and television (The Real Ghostbusters, The New Twilight Zone, Murder, She Wrote, Jeremiah). The influence of The Prisoner on his work has been far-reaching.
