Mark T. Sullivan (b. 1958) is an author of thrillers. Born in a Boston suburb, he joined the Peace Corp after college, traveling to West Africa to live with a tribe of Saharan nomads. Upon returning to the United States, he took a job at Reuters, beginning a decade-long career in journalism that would eventually lead to a job as an investigative reporter for the San Diego Tribune.
Sullivan spent the winter of 1990 living with a group of skiers in Utah and Wyoming, and used the experience as the foundation for his first novel, The Fall Line (1994). In 1995 he published Hard News, a thriller based on his work as a reporter, and a year later he released The Purification Ceremony, which won the WH Smith Award for Best New Talent. His most recent work is Private Games (2012), which he co-authored with James Patterson. Sullivan lives with his family in Montana, where he skis, hunts, and practices martial arts.
Based on the true story of a forgotten hero, Beneath a Scarlet Sky is the triumphant, epic tale of one young man’s incredible courage and resilience during one of history’s darkest hours.
Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He’s a normal Italian teenager—obsessed with music, food, and girls—but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior.
In an attempt to protect him, Pino’s parents force him to enlist as a German soldier—a move they think will keep him out of combat. But after Pino is injured, he is recruited at the tender age of eighteen to become the personal driver for Adolf Hitler’s left hand in Italy, General Hans Leyers, one of the Third Reich’s most mysterious and powerful commanders.
Now, with the opportunity to spy for the Allies inside the German High Command, Pino endures the horrors of the war and the Nazi occupation by fighting in secret, his courage bolstered by his love for Anna and for the life he dreams they will one day share.
Fans of All the Light We Cannot See, The Nightingale, and Unbroken will enjoy this riveting saga of history, suspense, and love.
##Amazon上12,000+ reviews, 綜閤5星,不是很懂為何會有如此好評… 但我是真的隻care General Leyers…
評分##故事是個好故事,戰後的部分大概是寫的最好的部分瞭。五星給pino,被作者的文筆扣掉1星
評分##本來看完豆瓣簡介對這本書是很期待的。看完整本之後覺得前言可能是寫的最好的部分瞭。故事的設定非常有意思,是很多導演都樂於錶現的主題,大時代背景下小人物的命運。有顛沛流離,有生死一綫,也有人文的關懷,道德的睏境,彼此深愛的人等多種爆款元素,隨便哪個寫好都夠瞭。...
評分##We don't have many stories told about WWII from the Italians. This one is beautifully told and encouraging.
評分 評分##整體還可以 劇情算吸引人讀下去 但是很多地方簡直太抓馬瞭吧 主角簡直是開掛好運氣人生 好多橋段像作者天馬行空想象齣來的一樣 不敢相信是紀實文學 但作為認真讀完的第一本英文小說 值得紀念.... 無論喜歡與否,有機會領略另一個文化、另一段陌生的曆史,是讀書帶來的毋庸置疑的好處之一。 浪漫(尤其是男人,調情是社交禮節)、文藝、熱愛美食、懶散……是我們對如今的意大利的印象,而“熱愛投降”、“坑隊友”“有效牽製德軍”……則是我們對二戰時期的意大利的印象。 ...
評分##很棒的故事,語言上選詞也講究,再艱難的時局,也要演奏著音樂唱著歌,心裏懷有希望。
