What this book is about
The third James Bond novel is unusual — Bond spends the first half investigating card cheating in a London club before uncovering that Sir Hugo Drax, creator of Britain's Moonraker rocket, has very different plans for it. Fleming's most domestic Bond novel, set almost entirely in England.
