What are your notable graphically violent scenes from the 16 John Gardner novels, including the novelisations in the total. There are many to choose from as Gardner was a prolific Bond writer - he wrote the most novels of any of the continuation authors and even wrote more novels than Ian Fleming himself, so this is an important topic, I think.
Did John Gardner follow on from the violence of Ian Fleming, or were his novels filled with more graphic violence such as that seen in Colonel Sun by Robert Markham (Kingsley Amis) or equally, did Gardner presage the more graphic in every sense culture of the later Raymond Benson Bond novels.
So, I'm open to hearing your choices.
I will give my choices at a later date. I want to see what BaB agents come up with first, though.
