Unfortunately, I got sidetracked after just the third book and gave up my ambitious plans. With a new Bond movie hitting theaters soon, I’m willing to give it another shot and pick up where...

Those are the only similarities between the two works. Although ‘Moonraker’ was Fleming’s third Bond story, it wasn’t made into a movie...
