From A View to a Kill: Dispatch riders are going missing so Bond poses as one and discovers what is happening to them. Nothing to do with the movie. For Your Eyes Only: Very closely adapted as part of the movie of the same name. Bond is sent to avenge the Havelocks - friends of M who have been murdered. Along the way he finds the crossbow-wielding daughter of the Havelocks who also wants revenge. (Incidentally the movie of For Your Eyes Only also contains the scene from Live and Let Die where Bond and a girl are dragged behind a boat as shark food.) Quantum of Solace: Not a Bond adventure, it is a story told to Bond over a dinner table. Risico: The other half of the movie For Your Eyes Only. Kristatos tells Bond that Columbo is his enemy. Columbo finds out thanks to a taped conversation and allies himself with Bond to stop the Kristatos drug-smuggling operation. The Hildebrand Rarity:
Features the character of Milton Krest and his boat, the Wavekrest.
Both of which find their way to the movie Licence to Kill.
Krest is a nasty piece of work who beats his wife and poisons hundreds
of fish in order to capture the Hildebrand rarity of the title. Bonds
reaction to the death of the fish is a highlight. Krest eventually
ends up dead and we aren't told who did it.
