Actually, the Moonraker book-movie-novelization is not the first case
of a new book coming out to tell "the movie version."
Unless my time sense is very poor, the Salkind version of "The Four
Musketeers" was re-novelized (if there is such a word) by George
MacDonald Fraser, several years earlier. (And well worth it:
Fraser is one of today's great comic writers; although Dumas'
"The 3 Musketeers" is a classic, the Fraser version of the story is
a lot of fun also.)
Has anyone ever seen a novelization of the script for the
Salkind "3 Musketeers"?
