Based on the TV show created by Patrick McGoohan, this all-new adventure written by Peter Milligan sees Breen, codenamed No. 6, trapped in a seemingly bizarre parallel world, unlike anything he has ever experienced before. There he must race to rescue his fellow spy before he loses his very grip on reality. But to save the day, Breen must also confront the arch controller of The Village, a person known only as Number One... The Prisoner: The Uncertainty Machine sees a return to the world of The Village - the seminal 1967 TV spy show, written, created and starring the star of the show PATRICK MCGOOHAN. The show followed the exploits of McGoohan's ex spy character, who after resigning is abducted by The Village and interrogated to discover the real reason behind his resignation. Each week The Village would try to trick the information out of him. Set in Portmerion, The mock Italian costal village location became as much a star of the show as McGoohan and helped to cement the show's reputation as one of the classic cult TV shows of all times. The Uncertainty Machine sees a modern day spy called Breen tasked with breaking into The Village in order to extricate a fellow spy who has been 'lifted' by The Village. The information she possesses is too valuable to fall into the hands of whoever it is that controls The Village. In order to rescue her, Breen must engineer his own defection and go rogue thereby becoming a person of interest to powers at work behind The Village. However nothing can prepare Breen for the bizarreness that awaits him inside the Village.
