Cold War spy thriller in which 007 faces off with Richard Branson er, Elon Musk, no… Hugo Drax! A rocket ship with a weapons payload is scheduled to launch from the cliffs of Dover even as Bond races against the countdown to thwart a German-Soviet plan of attack. Bill Nighy sounds a bit older than I like but I also might be projecting because we know what he looks like. Nonetheless, his interpretive skills of the text are very good. ( ) It isn't that I feel these books need trigger-warnings, but Fleming was a man of his age, which is to say there is a certain amount of racism, sexism, and weird conflation of personal beauty and virtue, here. Further there are colonialist politics built-in with un-examined assumptions and language that skews toward a sham-Darwinist view of Anglo-superiority. But. If you aren't put off completely by that, and ignore the ridiculous Roger Moore movie with which this literally shares only the name of a villain[1], this is quite good. The prose is pristine in its clarity and the descriptions are quite evocative. The characters are well-realized, and the plot rips along like the better Doyle Sherlock stories. It is known, amongst fans of these sorts of things, that novel-Bond is not particularly similar to his movie-counterpart. But Bond here is even more of a romantic than in the other books, falling in love with an engaged woman and then backing out gracefully when he learns of her fiancé. It's all very sweet in a portrait-of-a-self-destructive-alcoholic sort of way. ________________________ [1] Has a family ever done an author so wrong as the Brocollis did to Ian Fleming when they produced those Roger Moore films? I had never previously read this because I thought it had some stupid space-thing going on. Instead, Moonraker is the name of an ICBM that is integral to the plot. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The Moonraker project has a millionaire backer, the war hero Sir Hugo Drax--a man who, it seems, cheats at cards. With a ballistic rocket at stake, Sir Hugo's exposure could threaten Britain's latest defense system, so James Bond is asked to investigate. Moving from London's most exclusive gambling club to a missile silo on the Channel coast, 007 and his Special Branch assistant, Gala Brand, discover there's more to Drax than meets the eye.
