TFA blurb review
Goldfinger is the seventh novel in Ian Fleming's James Bond series. First published in 1959, it centres on Bond's investigation into the gold-smuggling activities of Auric Goldfinger, who is suspected of being connected to Soviet counter-intelligence. Bond uncovers Goldfinger's plot involving the gold reserves at Fort Knox (pictured). In Goldfinger, Fleming presents the James Bond character as a more complex individual than in the previous novels. A theme of Bond as a St George figure is echoed by the fact that Bond is a British Secret Service agent sorting out an American problem. Fleming probably based the gold-obsessed character of Goldfinger on the American gold tycoon Charles W. Engelhard Jr. On its release, the novel went to the top of the best-seller lists. It became the third James Bond feature film of the Eon Productions series, released in 1964 and starring Sean Connery as Bond.

 * Hi, Nice work. couple of very minor tweaks made; the additional links are also replicated in the lead, which I think is the preferred method. Feels free to take out/add in/tweak whatever you want. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 22:27, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
