Moonraker
Book • 2023
In 'Moonraker,' James Bond is tasked with investigating Sir Hugo Drax, a wealthy industrialist financing the Moonraker missile project intended to provide Britain with an independent strategic nuclear capability.
However, Bond soon discovers that Drax's true intentions are far from philanthropic.
The novel unfolds with Bond uncovering Drax's plan to launch the missile at London and his subsequent efforts to thwart the plot.
Unlike other Bond novels, this story is set entirely in Britain and delves deeper into the characters, particularly Bond's daily life and interactions with other characters like M and Gala Brand.
