	Universal Exports-John Gardner Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In the early ’60s he wrote a series of highly acclaimed comic novels featuring a cowardly secret agent called Boysie Oakes, and then moved on to more serious books: particularly those featuring Big Herbie Kruger who is an outstanding fictional character of the Cold War.
		In the early eighties however he was invited by Ian Fleming’s literary copyright holders to write a series of continuation James Bond novels which proved to be so successful, world wide, that instead of the contracted three books he went on to publish some fourteen titles.
		He is the creator of the Moriarty Journals, and the Boysie Oakes series and the Herbie Kruger trilogy, which has been favorably compared to le Carreis Smiley series.

	The Liquidator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		John Gardner's agent (known by the code letter 'L' for Liquidator), Boysie Oakes, has arrived on the scene.
		But this falls somewhere in that camp as an imitation/pastiche/parody/tribute, albeit with a stronger sense of humour, and it obviously worked well enough, since Gardner (an alcoholic ex-Anglican priest) subsequently got the gig of writing new Bond novels.
		In the film, Rod Taylor portrayed Boysie Oakes with a supporting cast that included Trevor Howard, Jill St John, Wilfred Hyde White and Eric Sykes.

	Absolutely James Bond - The definitive unofficial James Bond 007 community
		What I wanted to do was take the character and bring Fleming's Bond into the eighties as the same man but with all he would have learned had he lived through the sixties and seventies.
		There was another tenuous link between Bond and myself: in the early sixties about two days before my first Boysie Oakes book was published news came of Ian Fleming's death.
		Immediately there were Press stories indicating that the cowardly B Oakes was about to take the place of Bond.

		There are at least 2 more novels in this series--the adventures of a man named Boysie Oakes who's pressed into service working for MI6 as their special executioner.
		Again my thanks.I've always prefered Gardner's Boysie Oakes stuff over his later Bond books.He's a very good writer but it's obvious(to me anyway)that he cared more about his own creations than Fleming's--which is perfectly understandable.

	Liquidator, The (1964): Rod Taylor, Trevor Howard, Jill St John
		And, most importantly, it stars Rod Taylor, who's not only a much better actor than he's usually given credit for, but, physically, is perfect for the role of a debonair action man. In fact, he'd have made a pretty good Bond himself after Connery retired.
		He initially shows a remarkable aptitude for all the key skills required, including correctly guessing the vintage of selected wines, not to mention the poison with which the bottle's been laced.
		But the problems begin when Boysie completes his training, only to find that he's code-named L, short for the Liquidator, and that he's been hired as a government assassin.

		There was a '60s series about hit man, Boysie Oakes, the Liquidator.
		John Gardiner wrote the Oakes series, very good and very much a spoof of Bond.
		The hero is squeamish around weapons but likes the percs of spydom, so he hires a genuine hit man to perform his sanctions.

		Wood came from screenwriting, however he truly loved Fleming's work and tried his best to capture the so called "Fleming Effect", a term coined by Amis to describe the flow that Fleming managed, even in his least successful efforts, to create within his work.
		Gardner came from his excellent Boysie Oakes stories.
		Gardner always seemed desperate to get finished with Bond and back to Boysie Oakes or his interminable series of secret Generations novels.

		It's based on one of the novels featuring hitman and former soldier Boysie Oakes, the creation of writer John Gardner who later won the backing of Ian Fleming's estate and wrote a new series of Bond novels.
		Oakes - played by Aussie actor Rod Taylor - is hired by MI6, in the person of old soak Trevor Howard, to do some liquidating.
		Oakes, however, would rather sub-contract the work out, leading to various complications, including the near assassination of Prince Philip.

	Action Subgenres - Screenwriting article by William C. Martell
		The Kentucky Fried Theater guys are the masters of this subgenre, from spoofs of disaster movies like "Airplane!" to spoofs of spy flicks like "Top Secret!" to cops and robbers spoofs like the "Naked Gun" movies and that wicked martial arts spoof in "Kentucky Fried Movie".
		Some of my favorites in this subgenre are "The Liquidator" (based on the first of John Gardner's Boysie Oakes novels), "Our Man Flint" and "Royal Flash" (a swashbuckler spoof based on George MacDonald Frasier's Flashman novels).
		The key to a good spoof is (oddly enough) to take the conventions of the genre seriously.

		He retired after equaling Fleming's total of fourteen original novels, Gardner feeling the novelizations of the movies did not count.
		Gardner was already an established writer, best known for the series of "Boysie Oakes" novels, such as "The Liquidator".
		When assuming the mantle, Gardner's only direction was that he was not to make any mention of the offspring of Bond alluded to in "You Only Live Twice" and that Bond would be set in present time.

		I asked Peter Janson-Smith a couple of years ago, but he refused to say, unsurprisingly.
		I suspect a couple of people turned it down before Gardner was asked - PJ-S really struggled to give me a convincing reason why they'd gone with Gardner at all, admitting that he thought his Boysie Oakes books were pretty poor.
		My impression was that they just wanted a hack who would do it for a while and churn them out - 'we couldn't have another Kingsley, that was the thing' he said (I'm paraphrasing).
