Why this must be read:
A distinctive characteristic of Pros fiction is the many crossovers with other shows in which one of the actors starred. Most involve roles Martin Shaw (Doyle) played as he's had a more active career than Lewis Collins (Bodie). A popular approach is to put a Bodie-clone into the other universe: a character modelled on Bodie with his looks and temperament, but not his Pros background. This story puts a Bodie-clone into the world of Facelift, a strange futuristic Brit TV movie musical about a world populated with two kinds of people: Names and Numbers. These two types have little contact with or understanding of each other. MS starred as Zax, a magician who is a lure to some of the Numbers.
Kitty Fisher is a beautifully erotic writer. This story is on the dark side, with a dark ending, but the trip to get there is an evocative mix of pain and pleasure. Her style is a perfect fit to the subject matter.
Darkness; tasting salt, like the imaginary, fabled seas. Silence; like a thousand people dreaming, their breath suspended in need. A single, nervous laugh from high in the gods, quickly stifled, hushed by a shaking hand.
Always, every night, he pulled the wire of tension so tight that the other performers were convinced it would snap, leaving nothing; not even illusion. It never did. He held it cradled in the palm of his hand, balanced on the curve of his smile, his power. A darker shadow amongst the darkness he waited, breathing in the passion and need thrown blindly at the stage. This was everything; this single moment. Now. He took a slow breath.
"My name is Zax...."
And the night would never be the same again.
