About This Book

A deluxe reissue of British actor (comedian, musician, and writer) Hugh Laurie's acclaimed spy romp—starring Thomas Lang, a hapless ex-soldier who is drawn into the center of a dangerous plot involving international terrorists, arms dealing, and CIA spooks.

Featuring an introduction by Hugh Laurie, and a foreword by Stephen Fry!


Retired army officer Thomas Lang would love nothing more than to live out the rest of his existence drinking whiskey and riding motorcycles, and is content to make ends meet with mercenary jobs—just never murder. Not even when he's offered a fortune to assassinate American businessman Alexander Woolf. Lang opts to warn the target instead.

But Lang's good deed does not go unpunished. When he finds not Woolf, but Woolf's alluring daughter, Sarah, and another less scrupulous mercenary closing in, Lang becomes entangled in an international conspiracy that lands him in the sights of both the Ministry of Defence and the CIA. Lang takes on rogue CIA agents, aspiring terrorists, and high-tech arms dealers to prevent an international bloodbath—and save the femme fatale he's falling in love with.

Robert Ludlum by way of, well, Hugh Laurie, The Gun Seller is a whizz-bang novel of suspense, espionage, and humor, perfect for fans of crime fiction and comedy alike.
