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.

本来看完豆瓣简介对这本书是很期待的。看完整本之后觉得前言可能是写的最好的部分了。故事的设定非常有意思,是很多导演都乐于表现的主题,大时代背景下小人物的命运。有颠沛流离,有生死一线,也有人文的关怀,道德的困境,彼此深爱的人等多种爆款元素,随便哪个写好都够了。...
评分 评分 评分 评分战争,不以个人意志为转移。你以为纳粹就是纳粹,你以为与纳粹同流就是懦夫,你以为结束了就没有暴行。战争不断地夺走一些生命,美好,反转你的人生,颠覆你的观念。 战争结束了,不,战争才刚刚开始。人性中的冷酷残忍报复愚昧盲从周而复始地盘桓在这天空之下,你没有预料到爱...

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.
前后写的比较好,中间Pino做间谍的部分着墨很少,他究竟贡献了什么了不起的情报?为什么拿到手提箱钥匙之后一直没有打开?Pino的个性倒一直挺统一的,只能在背后搞反动,当面起冲突时总是懦弱。General Leyer究竟是什么身份,为什么会知道Pino代号呢?可能这就是纪实文学吧。
评分人生无常。如果全是真的,那么karma这种东西恐怕不存在吧。
评分作者说是根据Pino的人生写得,怎么会那么巧合跟Anna重遇。跟德国军官父子般的相处,太神奇了,难以相信是真的。关于二战的小说真的都挺好看的,在动荡的历史中,每个活下来的人都有不凡的经历,都值得写成故事。
评分亚马逊根据我看过的其他几本二战小说推荐的,但是这本是最差了。可能是为了要尽可能按照事实来写,情节总是难以达到高潮。很多情节对推动小说进展没什么帮助。但是主角总能阴差阳错见到至亲的人在自己面前死去,感觉又是不真实,像是小说刻意为之。结尾也有些仓促,还好后记写的不错。整体比较失望。
评分很棒的故事,语言上选词也讲究,再艰难的时局,也要演奏着音乐唱着歌,心里怀有希望。
