COVER AND BLURB COPY FOR THE ACE BOOKS U.S. EDITION (1ST, soft cover, 1970)
Ace Books (paper, 1970)
COVER
A NEW NOVEL of eerie suspense based on the exciting TV series starring Patrick McGoohan.
INSIDE BLURB
“Can you morally justify the Village?"
'No. But morality has become old-fashioned; we are no longer allowed personal scruples. If our government begins a dishonorable war, do we not have to wage it? If our employers engage in shoddy practices, can we protest?'
'But,' Number 6 said, "do you feel no responsibility for the lives you have ruined?"
'There are no lives anymore, only statistics. Any statistic can be sacrificed.'
He closed his fist around the Colt .32 in his pocket. 'Even your own?'
BACK COVER COPY
IN THE VILLAGE THERE IS:
* a beach
* a theater
* a tennis court
* and an underground chamber from which mysterious men monitor every move.
Each day is like another in the Village: a trip to the grocer's, a conversation with a Number, an escape attempt.
The Village-a sinister Disneyland for people who know too much about critical government projects and so can never be set free.
And YOU are there.
