QUANTUM OF SOLACE continues the high octane adventures of James Bond (DANIEL CRAIG) in CASINO ROYALE.

Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M (JUDI DENCH) interrogate Mr White (JESPER CHRISTENSEN) who reveals the organisation which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.

Forensic intelligence links an Mi6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille (OLGA KURYLENKO), a woman who has her own vendetta. Camille leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene (MATHIEU AMALRIC), a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious organisation.

On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the world's most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano (JOAQUIN COSIO). Using his associates in the organisation, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land.

In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene's sinister plan and stop his organisation.

Thanks for the blurb...although some people may appreciate a spoiler tag (even though the title clearly says synopsis)

Sounds cracking. I know 'this time it's personal' stories probably come around a little too often, but I like the way the new Bond/M relationship appears to be her being fully aware that he's a dangerous live wire that she has to carefully point in the right direction- that makes the set-up a little easier to bear.

It sounds like Greene's powerful contacts make life a little difficult for Bond too- is M pressurised to get rid of him? And does he have to work against Felix too? Can't wait to find out.

And Haiti too. Ooh.

I'm thinking uranium, perhaps, for the natural resource?

I like it. On paper, the plot sounds even more complicated than CR's. I anticipate lengthy "One thing I don't understand" threads on AJB in November. I think that's a really good thing, too, since typically all you really needed to know before was that Bond was up against a villain who lived in a volcano or some such place and planned to "take over the world" -- with basically no mystery or intrigue.

So Greene has contacts in the CIA and the British Government?

interesting - but please, God, no more traitors - we've had our share!

Hmmm...sounds kinda interesting. I think I'll go.

"In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth."
Who are the old friends?
Bill Tanner? Felix Leiter? (not really an old friend to Craigs Bond, is he?)

The closest he's got, I suppose! Mathis could be in there as well, depending on whether he's guilty or not.

Is it just me, or are we in for another round of LTK?

(I'll let you people decide whether it's good or bad)
