This was the first of three James Bond movies to be adapted into books by then-current Bond novelist Raymond Benson. Benson's version of Bruce Feirstein's screenplay is suitably expanded, and includes some nods to past Bond movies, including the suggestion that Bond was lying when he said he had taken a course in Oriental languages in You Only Live Twice (1967). The book is styled more after Fleming's novels, as opposed to this movie, with detailed backstories given to characters such as Elliot Carver, Stamper, and Paris Carver, missing from the movie, which gave the characters more depth. Wai Lin's activities in China tracking General Chang before she travels to Hamburg (omitted from the movie) are also included. Differences from this movie: Carver suffers from Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ disorder) due to stress, and takes regular painkillers as a result. General Chang's fate is revealed, stating he was found by the Police in Beijing hiding inside a stall in a women's restroom.
