When a nation is in its death throes, a never-ending series of Hero Liars come along to breathe new life into old lies. These false beings - praised as they may be - have no future.

"I have to act a fraud. To be myself is to die. No way out."
But the voice was not his but that of an American singer staring down at the same waters. Hearing his own thoughts out loud, Bond acted to stop her - and himself.
