The Gun Seller - Hugh Laurie

"The Gun Seller" is a spoof on the spy genre. It follows Thomas Lang and his complicated life. CIA, weapons dealers, terrorists, Ministry of Defence and love tangle up his life. He gets involved in a conspiracy with attempted murder in Britain and ends blowing up a helicopter in Africa.

Upsides
The little asides to the reader - it is first person and his thoughts are humorous
The settings are well established

Downsides
Slow start with character introductions
Not enough information is given about Solomon to understand his character
