Were there any novelizations Octopussy, AVTAK, TLD and LTK? If so, were they written by John Gardner? I know Christopher Wood wrote the novelizations of TSWLM and Moonraker and Gardner wrote the GoldenEye novelization (FYEO was close enough to its source material that I doubt they bothered with a new novelization), but there seems to be a huge gap in between. Am I wrong?
Gardner film novelizations?

There was a novelization of LTK written by John Gardner (pic below). OP, TLD, and AVTAK were never novelized.

Since, technically, FYEO, Octopussy, AVTAK, and TLD were 'films of the books', they were not novelised.
LTK's 'lightning strikes twice' pretense was so silly that I suppose TLD's novelisation would talk of Bond 'rembering another 'cello playing sniper.'

Licence To Kill as movie is OK.
Licence To Kill as novel was just bad... I didnt like it at all. They could have spared us on that one!

Well, so was Moonraker, but it was still different enough from Fleming's MR that a novelization was deemed necessary.
