![]() ![]() Review: Sir Hugo Drax is a mysterious industrialist who found his fortune selling columbite, an ore with a high melting point used to make rockets and jets. Unknown to Bond, Drax is German, an ex-Nazi now working for the Soviets his plan is to build the rocket, arm it with a nuclear warhead, and fire it at London. In the latter half of the novel, Bond is seconded to Drax’s staff as the businessman builds the Moonraker, a prototype missile designed to defend England. Plot: The plot is derived from a Fleming screenplay that was too short for a full novel so he added the passage of the bridge game between Bond and the industrialist Hugo Drax. Moonraker has a steady pace (despite being a little slowburn at the start), builds tension, well-written characters, provides lots of battle damage for the heroes and gritty ending. ![]()
