Southeast Asia
We were trained by four of the weirdest looking
men who had been imported from the Central
Highlands of Vietnam to teach us Jungle Warfare.
They looked as if they just stepped out of the
pages of National Geographic. Their primitive
people, called Montagnards (Mon-tag-yards), had
lived virtually undisturbed in the Mountainous
Highlands of Vietnam for thousands of years. It
was said by the Vietnamese people that they were
such fierce fighters even the North Vietnamese
Army (N.V.A.) gave their villages a wide easement.

17. Free Runner

A fourteen-year-old surfer, forced to exchange his

His dad—the only link to his past life—
disappears, and a mysterious package—his only
link to finding his father—vanishes.
