Honey Trap | |
| Death Is Forever / int_4cacfcc3 | comment |
Honey Trap: It is revealed that Easy's predecessor slept with the traitor in Cabal, and unknowingly helped to bring them down. This is ultimately subverted that while she did sleep with a Cabal-member, the evidence of honeytrapping was actually faked. | |

Affably Evil: When Bond finally gets face to face with Weisen, he excepts him to be a monster-of-a-man worthy of the nickname "Poison Dwarf". He instead meets a pleasant, smooth-talking man who wouldn't be out of place in a Christmas movie, albeit one with hidden fanaticism and insanity. | |

Continuity Nod: The failure of the coup in the last book is referenced. The real, less dramatic coup attempt that happened several months of after its release is also mentioned. When Praxi, the sole alive member of Cabal, asks Bond that how much she has left considering that others are dead. Without thinking, Bond answers "all the time in the world", and immediately regrets it due to the all the pain it brings back in his mind. | |

Stealing from the Till: A stabbing of Dmitri, an operative of Weisen's, seems to be out of context with the Cabal-business, but it is later revealed that he had been stealing from "operational funds", and Weisen had him killed because of it. | |

Textual Celebrity Resemblance: Spraker complains about the use of this trope, telling Bond that an author whose book he is reading constantly uses it to describe people. Bond then notes that someone once told him that he "looked like Hoagy Carmichael with a cruel mouth", which is how he was described by Ian Fleming in Casino Royale. | |

Just Between You and Me: Averted. Weisen feels obliged to "fill in the blanks" of the events prior to their meeting for Bond before moving out and leaving him to be killed, but refuses to reveal the machinations of his main operation when questioned about it. | |
