Ian Fleming Libri

Moonraker di Ian Fleming presenta l'iconico e leggendario spia James Bond/007.

Considerato "il miglior giocatore di carte al servizio", Bond viene chiamato per scoprire la verità. Tuttavia, mentre 007 indaga più a fondo nelle attività della base Moonraker, scopre che c'è molto di più nel misterioso Drax e nel suo progetto che semplici imbrogli alle carte...

Ma c'è anche la rappresentazione del mondo delle sale da gioco della Francia meridionale, che Fleming ricostruisce in modo impeccabile, consegnando intatto al lettore il fascino di quel mondo e di quella società.

Al fianco di Bond, in una sfida mortale in cui whisky e sangue scorrono con la stessa facilità, l'ex agente della CIA e amico, Felix Leiter, e Tiffany Case, bionda, dura e irresistibile.

The Man with the Golden Gun is the 13th novel written by Ian Fleming, featuring the fictional British Secret Service agent James Bond 007. It was published posthumously in the UK by Jonathan Cape, in 1965. Despite being stylistically different from and less detailed than Fleming's other works, it was a bestseller for four months.

Aided by his sex-galore confederate Mary Goodnight, 007 battles Scaramanga from a native bordello to a deluxe hotel to a cobra-infested swamp in the most bloodcurdling death-duel in the great Bond saga.
