What's the book about?
Occasionally, the publisher's hype gets it right, and this is such an occasion. British actor Hugh Laurie's writing debut is a skillful mix of Bertie Wooster and James Bond. Laurie's hero, Thomas Lang, once an officer in the Scots Guards, is now an amiable underachiever. He's also a decent chap, so when he is offered a contract to assassinate an American industrialist, he goes to the American's London home to warn him of the danger.
In short order, he's in trouble with British intelligence, rogue CIA crazies, and international arms merchants and is forced to infiltrate a small terrorist cell to protect the American's gorgeous daughter. Thomas is alternately feckless and heroic and always arch, puckish, or ironic. Author Laurie employs a glibly discursive Wodehousian style that works as a charming counterpoint to the moments of Bondian derring- do.
The Gun Seller is a thoroughgoing pleasure from beginning to end, and Laurie, who has a series of movie roles all lined up after his work in the remake of 101 Dalmations, is a very talented writer.
