Moonraker, the novel

is the third James Bond novel. It's the first one where Bond confronts a full-on supervillain. The previous two baddies were a tad small-time: a moneyman and a druglord. The villain of Moonraker wants to nuke London, and Bond has a (minor) freak-out when he realizes it.

Given that Daniel Craig's Bond hasn't run into full-on supervillainy yet, I kinda hope that he has a similar scene when he finally does.
