BEST JOHN GARDNER’S BOND BOOKS

These are two best books in John Gardner’s Bond series by John Gardner’s Bond, License Renewed, For Special Services and Icebreaker.

License Renewed: James Bond is one of the famous names in the entire universe. In the first book in the series, we are introduced to John Bond fighting to save the world from probably one of the most lethal antagonist yet, Dr. Anton Murik. The doctor is a nuclear physicist the inventor of what he calls “Murik Ultra Reactor.” The scientist claims that his reactor is not only capable of providing power, but it’s also capable of safely disposing of waste. Unfortunately, the scientist was mocked and for the design of the reactor and kicked out of the company.

After several years, the M16 discovered that the physicist was meeting with the world most wanted terrorist Franco. In response, John Bond is sent to look into the matter and is shocked when he discovers that Dr. Anton has world annihilation planned.

The main theme in the series debut book is never given up and plays a huge role in Bonds mentality as well. The characterization is brilliantly done; thanks to John Gardner’s skillful writing.one of the fascinating characters in the novel is Caber, an aggressive Scotsman working for Murik.

John Bond makes contact with the physicist where he fakes a coincidental meeting- informing Dr. Anton that he is a mercenary looking for work. Later Bond joins the scientist in at Murik’s request and is contracted to kill Franco for reasons unknown. Franco has in turn been instructed by Dr. Anton to kill Lavender Peacock his younger ward because she is the true heir to Anton’s fortune which could be proved by the secret documents Anton kept safe in his house.

Dr. Anton plans on hijacking some nuclear plants across the world with the help of Franco’s terrorist. And to ensure that Franco can never be associated with this deal, Anton hires Bond to kill Franco. What follows is a race to save the world from a nuclear meltdown that could see human beings wiped out from the face of the earth.

For Special Services: The second book in the series picks up from where the first book in the series, License Renewed left off.

Plane hijacking around the world has become popular such that the MI-6 teams up with the SAS to put an end to the hijackings. The story opens up with Bond placed as the lead man for one of the anti-hijacking teams. When the terrorists try to steal a shipment aboard, Bond and the operatives spring into fast-paced action and put an end to the aggressors. But before one of the hijackers dies, he mumbles a word that leaves everyone shocked.

Bonds all-time nemesis has raised from the ashes, and what’s more, a man named Blofeld is the man in charge. Bond is tasked with providing the answers to the puzzle. The primary focus of the story is finally answering the puzzling question “Who is Blofeld?” and overall this concept is handled very well. Blofeld is an evil mastermind and one of Bonds greatest rivals.

Icebreaker: In the third book in the series, the ever indestructible John Bond is back in another action-packed mission. A very deadly mission approached in cohort with John’s opposite numbers from the US, Israel and Soviet Union in the desolate arctic wastelands of Lapland.

Yet if increasing fascism is the common enemy, then who is really to be feared? Is it the voluptuous Israeli or the breezy American who is acting like a double agent? Are the Finns using John bond to break KGB’s on their fragile national autonomy? Never has John encountered such an agitating bunch of collaborators or been subjected to such bewildering lethal shocks.
