Scott uses cool spy equipment to encourage the egotistical Robinson to work with him.

Novelizations aren’t just a transcription of the film story. They also add details and backstory to the plot in a literary way.
“The purest experience for the movie is not to have read the book because when you've read the book you're just ticking off boxes.”
