Sadly, the reader probably figures out "Moonraker" within a few chapters.

In Fleming's "Goldfinger", Goldfinger is actually trying to steal the gold from Fort Knox. It was much more realistic to have him instead trying to destroy the gold to increase scarcity.

Say what you want about the film "Live and Let Die" but reading Fleming trying to write "jive" was just embarrassing.
