There is intrigue at M's exclusive gambling club 'Blades' on Park Lane where Sir Hugo Drax, a multi-millionaire business tycoon, revered by the British public because of his Moonraker missile defence programme, has been accruing millions of pounds at the Poker table. Why would Drax wish to make more money? How could he be achieving such success against the world's premier gamblers? As 'the best card-player in the service', Bond is called in to find out the answers. Quickly discovering that Drax is a cheat, Bond beats the millionaire at his own game, winning thousands of pounds. Bond is preparing to splash his winnings on a Rolls-Bentley Convertible and three diamond clips when he hears of a double-shooting at Drax's Moonraker base. Concerned about the possibility of sabotage, Bond is sent undercover to investigate. On the job, he meets Special Branch Agent Gala Brand, planted onsite as Drax's private secretary. Despite initial fractious relations, the two spies grow to respect each other and eventually discover the frightening and horrific truth about Drax and Moonraker.
