This was the first in a string of novelisations based upon the Bond films, with all of Pierce Brosnan's films being adapted by either Gardner or Raymond Benson as Brosnan's films contained few if any elements from the Fleming novels, later books did not present the same continuity challenge as this one. It also appears that the novelisation takes place sometime prior to Gardner's novel Win, Lose or Die in which Bond is promoted to Captain (in the novelization, as in the movie, Bond is still a Commander). The novelisation takes place outside the timeline of Gardner's other Bond novels, as his next book, Brokenclaw, disregards the events of Licence to Kill. Gardner does not attempt to reconcile the return of Milton Krest, who, supposedly, was killed in Fleming's short story " The Hildebrand Rarity". Gardner was faced with a challenge because his books maintain the continuity of Ian Fleming's original novels (albeit updated), and, in Fleming's and Gardner's continuity, Felix Leiter lost his leg in a shark attack in Live and Let Die.Īs a result, Gardner's book requires readers to suspend disbelief as James Bond comes to terms with his friend being maimed twice using the same method - complete with the same note ("He disagreed with something that ate him"). Then-current Bond novelist John Gardner was commissioned to write the novel based upon the screenplay by Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Licence to Kill was the first James Bond film since Moonraker ten years before to be novelized. But Bond is walking a tightrope and it is surely only a matter of time before he slips.
