Digital audiobook performed by Simon VanceBook three in the original James Bond series, starts with a little personal task. A noted British hero, Sir Hugo Drax, has been playing cards at Ms private club, and M suspects the man is cheating. Would Bond (a notable card player) take a look and confirm Ms suspicions? This novel focuses on cold-war sensibilities and features a villain who is not who he purports to be. Of course, theres a lovely young woman whos paired with Bond to ferret out the truthThe third Bond I am reading, and in order. So after making ill-advised social commentary in his last book, Fleming begins to really get into the groove for which we know him best, fast action sequences. Bond battles against multi-millionaire and British national hero Sir Hugo Drax, who we discover is actually German, but these are the post war years, so almost all the villains in all the books that have villains are Germans. Fleming taps into our desires for wealth and luxury as we get into a
***2018 Summer of Spies*** The oddest so far in the James Bond series. I was about two thirds of the way through when I started to wonder when something of significance would happen! The last third, however, held all the action that Id been asking for.A very slow start, back to Bond & his card expertise.

So far I've given the Bond books I've reviewed 3 stars. They walk a sort of thin line.

They're good books, just not as good as some others.In this one James saves England's missile program, uncovers a spy and, oddly doesn't get the (a) girl. the
(A-) 84% | Very GoodNotes: James Bond, dispirited office worker, awaits assignment and considers the empty, material life his profession affords.
Here you are, sat on a balcony in a faraway part of the world, at three o'clock in the morning because you have All The Jetlag - and have I mentioned this might be the hottest place you have ever been? - and you realise that what with one thing and another, you have not actually finished reading a book in close to a month.The last time this happened was probably five or six years ago.It has been a month full of very brain-intensive work, and you have only just managed to escape. Yesterday was
I have to say MOONRAKER didnt have as much action as either of the two previous Bond novels. At least at the beginning anyway. Sure there was the consummate card game and torture scene, but neither hit as hard or as fast as what happened in CASINO ROYALE. But this was certainly an entertaining read, even though the female characters seemed to wilt at the first sign of trouble, or at least gave the distinct impression of the likelihood of such an occurrence.I know its too much to ask (and its
