      Mar 17, 2023

      If you came to Sam Neill’s memoir without knowing the first thing about it, chapter one would hold a terrible shock. It begins amusingly enough: a lovely anecdote about his daughter Elena being asked at school when she was little about what her dad d

      Five... four... three... two... one... here we go folks, Jay called as they went on the air.

      Anchors Julia Tribianda and Austin White began their spiel and Jay relaxed back in his chair, watching everything. He was the puppet master and those two nationally loved, beautiful people were his puppets. All he had to do was pull a string and they did what he wanted. He put the words that they were loved for into their mouths.

      This was power.

      Uh oh, a soft voice murmured. Oh shit! Jay!

      He spun in his swivel chair and stared at the white-faced technician. What is it? What's wrong?

      The young woman was tapping furiously at her keyboard, but nothing seemed to be happening. I don't know how it happened. It's impossible.

      What? What's happening, damn you?

      She looked at him, biting her lip. Someone's hacked into the system and locked me out so I can't even turn it off. That, she pointed at the monitor showing the anchors, isn't what everyone's seeing. Somehow the hacker changed the codes and spliced his own feed in place of the news.

      Jay swallowed hard, acid bubbling in his stomach. He wasn't going to like this one bit. What does that mean?

      She reached across and punched a button on another console. A large monitor lit up and a strange tableau appeared. That's what everyone's seeing now.

      It was a dark room. All that could really be seen was the brass-framed bed with the bare mattress and the figure upon it.

      Shit. Is that who I think it is? He felt people crowding in around behind him, trying to see. In the background he could still hear the anchors giving their news report, having no idea what was happening in the control room.

      That's Simon Peters! a man said disbelievingly.

      The young man, boy really, was chained to the bed with his arms and legs spread-eagle. Except for the black cloth bound across his eyes, he was naked. There were red scratches on his chest, but otherwise he was almost too perfect to be real.

      For a second Jay hoped that this was just some kind
