Pozn.: The Moonraker project has a millionaire backer, the war hero Sir Hugo Drax – a man who, it seems, cheats at cards. With a ballistic rocket at stake, Sir Hugo’s exposure could threaten Britain’s latest defense system, so James Bond is asked to investigate. Moving from London’s most exclusive gambling club to a missile silo on the Channel coast, 007 and his Special Branch assistant, Gala Brand, discover there’s more to Drax than meets the eye.
This audiobook includes an exclusive bonus interview with Bill Nighy.

Very Different from the Movie
If you’ve only seen the movie, you don’t know Moonraker. There’s virtually nothing in common beyond the name and villain’s name, which is understandable given the immediate post-WWII framework. It’s also considerably less silly than the movie, which isn’t really hard to do. I love Roger Moore, but this is most certainly not the Moore-era 007. In this original version, the Moonraker is a modified V2 rocket with a nuclear warhead, the perfect centerpiece for an early Cold War era novel.

Ian Fleming’s Bond stories were released as brand new unabridged audiobooks between 2012 and 2015, and the complete set is now available in the UK from Audible and W F Howes, and in North America from Blackstone.

Read by a spectacular cast of British acting talent including Bill Nighy, Damian Lewis, Hugh Bonneville, Rosamund Pike, David Tennant, Sir Kenneth Branagh and Tom Hiddleston, each audiobook comes with a bonus interview with the celebrity narrator. You can see the full list of narrators below.

Over three years in the making, the project was the brainchild of Lucy Fleming, Ian Fleming’s niece, and was headed by distinguished director Enyd Williams. They worked closely with the readers to create an exciting, modern take on the new, unabridged recordings of these classic books.
