内容简介

Hugh Laurie concocts an uproarious cocktail of comic zingers and over-the-top action in this "ripping spoof of the spy genre" "(Vanity Fair)" -- the irresistible tale of a former Scots Guard-turned-hired gun, a freelance soldier of fortune who also happens to be one heck of a nice guy.Cold-blooded murder just isn't Thomas Lang's cup of tea. 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.

托马斯·朗,三十六岁,家住韦斯特伯恩街42号D座,前苏格兰卫队成员,以上尉的军衔光荣退役。 酒吧里的人都走光了,我把身子侧向那个胖子,跟他说了一段话。虽然内容挺没劲的,但他听得很认真,因为我把手伸到桌子底下抓住了他的阴囊。我告诉他自己是什么样的人,他犯了怎样的错误,还叫他拿自己的钱去擦屁股。然后我们便分开了。
