Roger Moore reads Thunder Point by Jack Higgins. Audiobook. Abridged
Thunder Point (1993) An amateur diver discovers a sunken U-boat from WWII. He also discovers a water tight briefcase which contains a diary of Hitler’s secretary Martin Bormann. Even more shocking, it contains the names of UK and US Nazi sympathizers some of whom are still alive and holding important positions. In this audiobook, you’ll be able to hear Roger Moore take on all the characters in this exciting story of international intrigue.
Jack Higgins (1929-2022) is the pen name for Henry Patterson. He was born in Newcastle Upon Tyne in North East England. He learned to read at 3 and read Oliver Twist at 6. From 1947-49 Mr. Patterson was in the army and cavalry and did security along the east German wall. Afterwards he earned his teaching certificate and lectured at what’s now called Leeds Beckett University. Mr. Patterson first book was published in 1959 for which he received an advance of £79. His books were published under his name and several pseudonyms before in settled on Jack Higgins in 1970. His most famous book is The Eagle Has Landed. Henry Patterson's (Jack Higgins) 85 novels have sold over 250 million copies and have been translated into 55 languages. P.S. Sorry about the misspelling of Higgins on the video.
Roger Moore (1923-2017) Born in London, Roger got his first break into movies since his policeman father investigated a burglary of director Brian Hurst’s home. Mr. Hurst gave Roger a role as an extra in the film Caesar and Cleopatra starring Vivian Leigh. Roger Moore continued to get small roles in films and television before starring in the series Ivanhoe (1958-9). He gained fame as a leading man in the popular series The Saint (1962-69) and to a lesser extent in The Persuaders (1969-1972) costarring with Tony Curtis. However, it was his role as James Bond for 7 films that earned him worldwide recognition and fame. P.S. Moonraker, one of Moore’s Bond films, was also made into an audiobook which I plan to release next on Great Books on Tape.
You're invited to peruse my two books on Amazon:
Ludwig Richter: the Story Artist, is about a wonderful illustrator from 1800s Europe. His art is used to tell his story. And...
Annotated Astrologaster (published1620 as Astrologaster) is an intelligent and sharply-witted exposé by John Melton against astrology and other cons, corrupt religious leaders have used to fleece their flock. Now readable and clearly explained, Annotated Astrologaster celebrates its 400+ year anniversary.

ATROCITY PROPAGANDA - " Atrocity propaganda is how we won the war. And we're only really beginning with it now ! We will continue this atrocity propaganda, we will escalate it until nobody will accept even a good word from the Germans, until all the sympathy they may still have abroad will have been destroyed and they themselves will be so confused that they will no longer know what they are doing. Once that has been achieved, once they begin to run down their own country and their own people, not reluctantly but with eagerness to please the victors, only then will our victory be complete. IT WILL NEVER BE FINAL. Re-education needs careful tending, like an English lawn. Even one moment of negligence, and the weeds crop up again - those indestructible weeds of historical TRUTH. " - SeftonDalmer (1904-1979), former British Chief of ' Black Propaganda ': Said after the German surrender in 1945 in a conversation with the German Professor of lnternation Law Dr.FriedrichGrimm.

Not bad, but some of the elements of this plot are ludicrous, the lack of caution demonstrated by the main protagonists ( who are supposed to be intelligence professionals ) is just unbelievable, again and again they partake in actions that make little sense ( they leave their seaplane unattended , they leave the girl who knows where the sub is unprotected after the opposition are killing off people with wild abandon, once they have the documents they take zero precautions to stop it being stolen , there are no agents to back them up yet this is a vital operation ... why? ) there are so few precautions taken its obvious they are simply just there to act as plot devices. This is just sloppy writing. Cant agree that Moore does a good job, much of the time during the action scenes he runs sentences into each other, timing is everything, in this case, its absent about 20% of the time. hes not bad, but he could have done a much better job.

I agree it is an hodgepodge story because of the lack of the correct precautions of the protagonists. I do not agree that Sir Roger did any other than his best and his best is more than good enough for an abridged version. However it must have offended his sense for the storyline. The Saint would not have made such gaffs and Bond would have laughed at such incompetence.
