What is the author's style in Moonraker by Ian Fleming?

The novel is written in British English, slightly different than American English. Words like splendor are spelled with a 'u.' The novel was written in 1955, so some of the language is antiquated. There are short German phrases used throughout but it is not necessary to understand German. The meaning is clear by the context. Fleming uses clear foreshadowing that is never misleading and often very obvious.
