James Bond and Moonraker James Bond and Moonraker James Bond and Moonraker is a novelization by Christopher Wood of the James Bond film "Moonraker". Its name was changed to avoid confusion with Fleming's novel. It was released in 1979. British Secret Service agent James Bond, codename 007, must prevent Sir Hugo Drax's plan to murder the entire human race and then restart humanity from outer space. The screenplay of "Moonraker" differed so much from Ian Fleming's novel that Eon Productions authorised the film's screenwriter, Christopher Wood to write a novelization based upon the film, as he had done for "The Spy Who Loved Me".
Motifs in the James Bond film series was the attaché case shown in "From Russia with Love", which he described as "a classic 007 product". The gadgets assumed a higher profile in the 1964 film "Goldfinger" and the film's success encouraged further espionage equipment from Q Branch to be supplied to Bond, although the increased use of technology led to an accusation that Bond was over-reliant on equipment, particularly in the later films. Starting with "From Russia with Love", the briefings with Q branch involve various gadgets and technology, although Boothroyd is not referred to in the credits as Q until the third film, "Goldfinger".
