I just got finished reading the Gun Seller, and I have to say it was a very good book. A James Bond like spoof in some ways. Hugh really has a great sense of humor and I could almost hear the voice that he uses for House come through in my mind as I was reading it. How many others have read this book and what do you think of it???

WOW - I JUST READ IT AND LET ME TELL YOU IT'S BLOODT BRILLIANT!!
Hugh Laurie just got bumped up to my fave author as well as actor.
And I'm in total agreement with you, hollymac!! About the House thingy coming through. It was heaps like House.
But it was SO FUNNY - made me crack up - but also SO DEEP!! Lang has this super weary outlook on life that is terrifying yet exciting at the same time!! He's super cynical yet super not.
The book was so intelligent that I think I'm going to have to read it twice before I fully understand it.
Anyone else read it?

There is a sequel planned called the Paper Soldier. It's not supposed to come out til August of 2007, I know it's a really long wait, but I've got it all ready pre-ordered.
