It was a strong face, certainly—the eyes pale grey and very cold, the mouth was hard, the dark hair-grey-streaked now—still fell in the authentic comma over the forehead. This is how John Pearson reacted to his first encounter with the real James Bond, an encounter probably unique in the annals of thriller writing. He went on to write the bestselling authorized biography of Ian Fleming. At the time, like most of the world he assumed that James Bond was nothing more than a character in Fleming's highly charged imagination.

Publisher's Summary
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 defence 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.
Includes an exclusive bonus interview with Bill Nighy.
Ian Fleming was born in London in 1908. He was educated at Eton and worked as a journalist in Moscow and a banker and stockbroker in London before becoming personal assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence during the Second World War. He wrote his first Bond novel, Casino Royale, in 1952 at Goldeneye, his home in Jamaica. Since then James Bond has gone on to become a global phenomenon.
Bill Nighy is a multi-award-winning actor who has appeared in many TV dramas, including State of Play, The Girl in the Café and Page Eight, for which he received a Golden Globe Best Actor nomination. He won Best Supporting Actor BAFTA for his role as Billy Mack in Love Actually, while his other films include Pirates of the Carribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 and the smash hit The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
Critic Reviews
"Mercilessly readable." ( The Listener)
"Moonraker establishes its author as Mr. Eric Ambler’s rival or successor." ( Tablet)
"It’s all utterly disgraceful and highly enjoyable." ( The Spectator)
"Astonish me!” the addict may challenge; Mr Fleming can knock him sideways." ( The Scotsman)

One of the best
One of the best Bond novels. Read excellently by Bill. No knowledge of previous Bond novels is required to appreciate this one.

Vintage 007
Wonderful reading by Bill Nighy - really made the production.
A good Bond novel with all the classic silly tropes - it is impossible to take any of them seriously after Mike Myers but I enjoyed this.

A classic
High Suspense. James Bond is much more fully realized as a human compared to the early Bond films. The attitude to women is “of the time” but you just need to let that go and enjoy the story.

Remarkably well written and narrated
How good to be surprised by a book I had probably read as a teenager. I kept thinking what a good film it would make. Perhaps without Jaws.
A great depiction of England soon after WW2, with lots about cars, clubs and class.

Probably the best one so far (of 4)
This book stands up toe to toe with the prequel Bond novel. Very well written and very riveting from beginning to end. Not as much action as previous Bond novels but it demonstrated that a good spy novel can hold the same tension and interest with obscure motives and subtle actions. The "Bond girl" was excellent and treated with a lot of dignity.

Bill Nighy is brilliant.
By far the best of the celebrity read 007 novels. Bill Nighy lends an incredible performance with nuanced character voices and a level of drama unlike any of the others.
I loved David Tennant in OHMSS, but this is on another level.
The story, I wish the film was more like this. Dark, gritty and realistic, no space travel. Just evil Nazis and nuclear missiles. Absolutely recommend.

Perhaps my favourite Bond story
A tremendous story. Fantastical yet somehow believable (certainly more so than the film which has little to do with this story).
Bill Nighy is sublime. Half of the enjoyment one gains from the book is from his rendition of it.
