I picked this book up on a lark. I watch House and LOVED BlackAdder, so I am well aware that Hugh Laurie has many facets to his talent. "What the hay," I thought, "if it sucks, I can mock him."
Well suprisingly, this is quite a good geo-political intrigue novel. Laurie injects some wry and dry British humour into the proceedings, which brings some freshness to what could have been a tired old tale of an ex-soldier caught up in the international weapons trade. There is also some wag-the-dog elements here that add to the complexity of the plot.
This is a quick moving, engaging book that is a fun read. It also proves that Laurie is a multi-talented guy that has a literary career if he ever tires of acting.
