James Bond encounters
synchronicity in Ian Fleming’s novel Moonraker:
“Startled at the great crimson
words, Bond pulled in to the curb, got out of the car and crossed to the other
side of the street to get a better view of the big skysign.
“Ah! That was it. Some of the
letters had been hidden by a neighbouring building. It was only one of those
Shell advertisements. ‘SUMMER SHELL is HERE’ was what it said.
“Bond smiled to himself and walked
back to his car and drove on.
“When he had first seen the sign,
half-hidden by the building, great crimson letters across the evening sky had
flashed a different message.
“They had said: ‘HELL is HERE…
HELL is HERE… HELL is HERE.’”
What Bond didn’t know was that Sir
Hugo Drax was at that moment preparing the clandestine launch of a nuclear
missile at London.
