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.

戰爭,不以個人意誌為轉移。你以為納粹就是納粹,你以為與納粹同流就是懦夫,你以為結束瞭就沒有暴行。戰爭不斷地奪走一些生命,美好,反轉你的人生,顛覆你的觀念。 戰爭結束瞭,不,戰爭纔剛剛開始。人性中的冷酷殘忍報復愚昧盲從周而復始地盤桓在這天空之下,你沒有預料到愛...
評分無論喜歡與否,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The storyline itself is fantastic and compelling! Even better, it is based on a true story of a forgotten WWII hero, Pino Lella. In Nazi-occupied Italy at the end of the war, 18 year-old Pino successfully helped Jews escape from holocaust. Then he was compe...

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。
評分故事非常棒,可惜人物塑造稍微少瞭點細膩和豐滿
評分A very attractive story that happened on the backstage of WWII. Not sure how much is real history, but great reading experience anyway.
評分節奏有點拖遝,感覺是衝著好萊塢劇本寫的。五星是給的第一部分和對於戰後的描寫,這似乎是很多二戰題材的電影電視劇迴避的時間點,大概是因為現實太荒誕瞭
評分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…
