Moonraker (novel): Difference between revisions

* [[Revealing Coverup]]: The violent death of Major Tallon, the original security chief, ultimately served only to bring the far more talented James Bond onto the scene just in time to find and reveal the entire plot. While Tallon ''had'' stumbled across a clue to what was going on and had started his own investigation, and thus needed to be dealt with in some way, Drax would have been better served to either make the effort to stage a less suspicious death or else leave Tallon alive and keep diverting him down false trails long enough to run out the clock.

** In fairness, his plan to make it look like a love triangle romantic obsession gone wrong probably would have fooled the police for at least one week (which was all the time he needed) -- had he not unknowingly picked an undercover policewoman, {{spoiler|who was already engaged to a senior police inspector}}, as the alleged catalyst of the affair. Investigators might have filed Gala Brand's denials of anything going on under 'she's probably lying, keep looking into it' had she just been a random civilian, but they were understandably much more willing to take one of their own detectives' word for it.

* [[Those Wacky Nazis]]

* [[Torture Technician]]: Krebs and possibly Dr. Walter, as described by Drax. Fortunately, we never get to see them exercising their talents.
