SPIRIT MISSION: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码: 04300016B87581
English Summary/英文概要: Flying across Iraq in a stolen helicopter, Army Lieutenant Colonel Sam Avery knows that tonight will be his last mission. He and his crew will either be shot down by ISIS, or court martialed when they return. Sam doesn’t care. He can’t care. There is too much at stake.
As the chopper flies through the night towards their objective, Sam reflects on his time in the crucible of the United States Military Academy. West Point made Sam the man—and the leader—that he is. It taught him not only about Duty, Honor and Country, but also about brotherhood, loyalty and sacrifice. These values motivate him and his team as they undertake their final and most audacious Spirit Mission.
A boys-y adventure thriller to be sure but alongside this runs the very human element of the relationships forged during the team’s time at West Point.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 陆军中校Sam Avery正坐在一架偷来的直升机中飞跃伊拉克。他知道今晚是他最后的任务。他和自己的队员不是被ISIS射下来,就是在返回后被押送到军事法庭去。但他一点也不在乎,他也不能在乎。其中有太多生死存亡的利害关系。飞机在夜晚飞行,Sam则回忆了他当年在美国军事学院的严酷训练。他在那里不仅学会了职责、荣誉和国家,也学会了兄弟情、忠诚和牺牲。正是这些价值观激励他的自己的队员承担了这次最大胆的最终任务——精神任务。本书无疑是部精彩的惊悚小说,同时也体现了西点军校中建立的极具人文情怀的情谊。(LYR)
