I also read the two Christopher Wood novelizations. He gives a bit of a back story to Jaws.
I read the first Gardner Bond book, and bought the second (which I never read). After the Gardner book, I stopped buying new Bond novels.
Second Gardner Bond book is FOR SPECIAL SERVICES...
I actually liked the novel...I still remember the plot of the novel...I read that book a long time ago...I borrowed the book from L.A. City Library...
In the novel, Bond works with daughter of Felix Leiter... He has to deal with SPECTRE...
