Synopsis
A comic thriller starring ex-Scottish Guards officer Thomas Lang, who gets involved in one too many complicated plots.
Industry Reviews
"Hugh Laurie subverts the Bond genre with gleeful panache....The jokes are sharp, knowing and contemporary, and make one laugh out loud."
Times Literary Supplement
"Amiable and lively....It's certainly the first novel to combine 'The Day of the Jackal' with 'The Code of the Woosters.'"
Evening Standard (London)
"A terrific debut: So good I was putting it down all the time to make it last longer."
Daily Telegraph (London)
"If you can allow yourself one more 'light' book, just one, before the encroaching darkness of fall guilts you into re-reading 'Being and Nothingness', this has to be it. 'The Gun Seller' is fast, topical, wry, suspenseful, hilarious, witty, surprising, ridiculous and pretty wonderful. And you don't need a permit to buy it."
Washington Post Book World - Jay A. Fernandez (08/17/1997)
"Now Mr. Laurie has followed his fellow Cantabrigian into comic fiction with "The Gun Seller", the most engaging literary menage a genres since George Macdonald Fraser's Flashman arrived on the scene....As a writer, Mr. Laurie is smart, charming, warm, cool (if need be) and high-spirited.....This is a genuinely witty and sophisticated entertainment."
New York Times Book Review - Christopher Buckley (06/08/1997)
