I'm putting together a short story about Bond giving Valentin the limp. Thing is, I haven't read Gardner's novelisation of the film and I am wondering if he elaborated any more than what was on film. I don't want to write this thing only to find that I contradict something already [officially] written. Did Gardner give any more background, or was it just "I gave him the limp..."? Thanks!

This is What The Wikipedia has about Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky:
Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky is an ex-KGB agent turned Russian mafia head who runs a bar, a casino, and a caviar factory. When he was younger (and a KGB agent), a conflict with James Bond ended with Zukovsky having a limp; however, after leaving KGB, Zukovsky does not keep a grudge towards Bond, especially when dealing with Bond can mean profit. Played by Robbie Coltrane, Zukovsky makes two appearances in the films before being shot and mortally wounded by Elektra King in The World Is Not Enough. He lives long enough after being shot to execute a trick shot using a gun hidden within his cane that allows Bond to escape King's trap. His first appearance was in GoldenEye.
