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 Patrick McGoohan. 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.

One-time Entertainment weekly's man of the year Peter Milligan was at the forefront of the revolution in comics which were created for a more sophisticated, adult audience. Shade the Changing Man for Vertigo offered a skewered look at American culture, while Enigma, Face and Rogan Gosh pushed the boundaries of comic books. Milligan was the longest-running writer of Hellblazer, and his take on Human Target inspired the TV series. His latest works include the critical hit Britannia, and a retelling of the MUMMY for Hammer/Titan. Milligan has written several screenplays, including Pilgrim and An Angel for May. Colin Lorimer has worked with Image, Dark Horse, IDW, Titan, and Boom! Studios. Co-creator of the books, HARVEST, UXB, Burning Fields, and Curse, he has also worked on The X-Files, Hellraiser, Blackout, Millennium, and Dark Horse Presents. Colin is an award-winning storyboard artist and has worked across film, animation, and gaming. He is currently working closely with the director Albert Hughes on his latest feature film The Solutrean.
