James Bond and Moonraker - Christopher Wood's novelization

Hello dear listeners!

What value do novelizations have?

How good can they be given that they are, after all, but the book equivalent of their filmic counterpart?

Oh, heady stuff on this week’s episode of the show, as Matt and Edgar are back with a return to the world of Christopher Wood’s James Bond.

As some listeners may recall last summer we sat down to read and discuss Wood’s Spy Who Loved Me novelization and it generated some rather interesting remarks and commentary.

Well, Wood wasn’t done with the universe of Bond just yet, as he was brought back 2 years later to pen the novelization of James Bond – A Star Wars Sto- uh, Moonraker.

Was this book as engaging and unique as its predecessor?

The boys make their call by getting through all sorts of high brow topics like: Draxites, the return of squeaky and creaky gadgets, the soft reboot of Hugo Drax, squishy floating brain matter making for terrific reading material for 9-year olds, JBR to the rescue, and women who still shake hours after having amazing sex with James Bond.

So sit back, relax, pick up your dusty copy of James Bond and Moonraker that’s practically falling apart and join us for a spacewalk.
