Offered a bundle to assassinate an American industrialist, he opts to warn the intended victim instead -- a good deed that soon takes a bad turn. Quicker than he can down a shot of his favorite whiskey, Lang is bashing heads with a Buddha statue, matching wits with evil billionaires, and putting his life (among other things) in the hands of a bevy of femmes fatales. Up against rogue CIA agents, wannabe terrorists, and an arms dealer looking to make a high-tech killing, Lang's out to save the leggy lady he has come to love...and prevent an international bloodbath to boot.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>The Gun Seller</i> is fast, topical, wry, suspenseful, hilarious, witty, surprising, ridiculous, and pretty wonderful. <br> And you don't need a permit to buy it...A delightful novel.-- "The Washington Post Book Review"<br><br>[A] ripping spoof of the spy genre-- "Vanity Fair"<br><br>A first-rate thriller...an awesome entertainment machine...a smashing book.-- "The Plain Dealer (Cleveland)"<br><br>A genuinely witty and sophisticated entertainment...fresh and winning.-- "Christopher Buckley, The New York Times Book Review"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Hugh Laurie</b> has cowritten two comedy series for BBC television, <br><i>A Bit of Fry</i> and <i>Laurie.</i> He has also acted in the television dramas <i>Blackadder</i> and <i>Jeeves and Wooster</i> as well as in the feature films <i>101 Dalmatians, Sense and Sensibility, </i> and <i>Peter's Friends.</i> He lives in Londo
