Much to my surprise, I quite enjoyed Moonraker. It's entirely set in England (and Fleming doesn't seem to have noticed the non-white population already here in 1955), so there's no scope for racism unless you count Germans. And the female lead has her own skills, qualities, ideas and, in the end, independent life, very much as if someone had sat Fleming down and had a word with him about the old misogyny. I really liked seeing Bond in the cheating-at-cards-in-gentlemen's-clubs subplot whichMoonraker was the fourth of Ian Flemings James Bond novels, appearing in 1955. By that time Fleming had the formula well and truly nailed and the result is wonderful entertainment. A mysterious businessman has announced plans to build a missile that will ensure Britains defences. He is prepared to finance the project himself as a kind of gift to the nation. The rocker, known as the Moonraker, will be able to reach any city in Europe (which in 1955 made it a super-weapon).Sir Hugo Drax is very
Rocketman. It was a straightforward Ian Fleming novel. Not the best, but the pages kept turning. A little weird reading it at the same time I was reading Gravity's Rainbow.
Exciting!I think Ian Fleming finally got it right with number three in the James Bond series! I have almost no complaints about this novel as I have about the first two books in the series. After having read the first three novels in the Bond series in order, I believe modern readers maybe should read 'Moonraker' before 'Casino Royale' or 'Live and Let Die'. We all know Bond's backstory, and 'Moonraker' can be read as a standalone. It isn't, like, Great Literature, but it is fun, and James is
(A-) 84% | Very GoodNotes: James Bond, dispirited office worker, awaits assignment and considers the empty, material life his profession affords.
Moonraker gets fiendish with its plot and villains, making this the first of the James Bond books to feel like a James Bond movie.Pure Cold War spy bliss, this book taps into our collective fear of mass annihilation after the successfully brutal bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A war hero has offered his vast fortune, ambition and knowledge to create and construct a missile supposedly capable of defending Britain in case of attack. A test of the missile is scheduled soon and Bond is put on
