James Bond and Moonraker by Christopher Wood 1979 Movie Tie-In Paperback Edition

Description: James Bond and Moonraker by Christopher Wood (1979 Movie Tie-In Paperback Edition)A very regrettable incident has occurred. A US Moonraker space shuttle, on loan to the British, has disappeared - apparently into thin air. Who has the spacecraft? The Russians? Hugo Drax, multi-millionaire supporter of the NASA space programme, thinks so. But Commander James Bond knows better.Aided by the beautiful - and efficient - Dr Holly Goodhead, 007 embarks on his most dangerous mission yet. Objective: to prevent one of the most insane acts of human destruction ever contemplated. Destination: outer space. The stakes are high. Astronomical even. But only Bond could take the rough so smoothly. Even when he's out of this world ..."This book is closer to the movie with quite a few more Flemingesque moments written in the book as the movie has. Some of the big plot holes cannot be solved but are comfortable steered clear from. The story is more down to earth than the movie but of course we get into space which is somewhat different from the movie, I admit I liked the events of the movies less than the book offered. But it might have stretched the budget of 'Moonraker" too far.It is a well written novel which together with 'The spy who loved me" is actually the best novelization written in the 007-verse. It does surpasses some continuation books easily as well. For a fun 007 adventure recognizable for movie fans you cannot go wrong. The so-called Fleming purist will pull up his nose in horror, but then there are fans and fans." -Mark, GoodReadsVintage Paperback / Jove / 1979 / Very Good Condition / In Protective Plastic Sleeve
