Intrigue in Italy

Beschreibung

August 1943 and the Battle of Sicily is reaching its climax. Newly promoted Lieutenant Dane Shaw, nicknamed The American Fox by friend and foe alike, is assigned to his first command, one of the worst platoons in the American Army. As he struggles to bring his men up to standard, God continues to mold him into the man He wants Dane to be. Then Dane is ordered to accompany a mysterious Italian Contessa on a mission so secret he is not told what it is. Will he succumb to her web of deceit and murder as so many others have, or will God give him a way of escape? Sergeant Ted Rodgers is struggling with his Quakerish upbringing. How can he reconcile what he has been taught with the realities of war? And what of the Contessa's maid, Ana? Why does he feel there are secrets hidden behind her brilliant blue eyes? 300 pages

Autor

Dwayne Straw grew up in Council Bluffs, Iowa. He has always enjoyed reading books, with his mother starting to read to him when he was a baby. As a young teenager growing up in the Sixties, one of his favorite places was the Young Adult Room at the local library, where he discovered authors like Joseph Altscheler, Robert Heinlein, and Andre Norton. During junior high school, he wrote a series of science fiction stories about a soldier and his adventures fighting in China, Mars, and space. He never wrote again until recently, when he remembered those stories and sat down and started writing the Dane Shaw Adventures. He accepted Jesus as his savior when he was five years old one hot summer day when he and his sister started asking their mother questions about God. She stopped ironing and sat down with a Bible and showed them the answers. They both were saved then. As an adult he has served in his local church as an usher, Sunday School teacher, church treasurer, and deacon. He currently resides in Omaha, Nebraska, with his wife and two children.
