The third edition of James Bond: The Secret World of 007 by Alastair Dougal will be released in the UK on October 20. It will be exactly the same as the last two editions except for a new section dedicated to Quantum of Solace. The UK Dorling Kindersley (DK) website has just posted a hi-res scan of one of the new pages and it includes a little information on the status of Bond and Leiter’s relationship in the new film.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD

Here’s an excerpt of the pertinent information:

–

FRIENDS OR FOES?

Bond’s determination to bring down White’s shadowy organization threw his personal and professional relationships into turmoil. MI6 colleagues and friends like Felix Leiter were suddenly unsure which side Bond was on, apart from his own. Bond found trust in some unlikely quarters.

Leiter found his loyalty to Bond compromised by orders from the CIA.

This new information certainly meshes with what we are told about Bond’s relationship with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the film’s official synopsis:

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.

I highly recommend NOT purchasing this book if you already own one of the first two editions because DK only added a few new pages. The rest of the pages remain unchanged from the previous editions which is a rip-off! The cover is nice though.
