Ian Fleming's Moonraker, |
| "It was Monday and a routine day for James Bond in the quiet office at the headquarters of the Secret Service. Idly he ticked off his number- 007- on the charge sheets of the Top Secret files that had come in over the week-end. He was bored. Mondays were hell. |
|
Then, suddenly, the red telephone screamed in the quiet room. 'M wants you.' And Bond walked out of his office and into the assignment that was to put even his adventures in France and Harlem and Jamaica in the shade. And yet what was to happen to him was to happen out of the clear blue skies of early summer, here, in England. As it might have been yesterday. Or, as it might be, some dreadful tomorrow." |
