Number 6

When a man named the Colonel arrives in the village to take part in a secret experiment, Number 6 is kidnapped and subjected to a mind-swapping technique. He wakes up in London exactly one year after his abduction, and discovers that his consciousness now occupies the body of the Colonel. The only person that can reverse the process is a man named Seltzman - but he is being hunted by both British and Village agents. Can Number 6 find Seltzman before he falls into enemy hands..?
