THAILAND<br >PROLOGUE<br > There were too many ways to die in the jungle.<br > It had bee0 a ferocious teacher, and in the past six<br > years he had dgtmn near died from snakebite, from a half<br > dozen Asian ~iseases, from attacks by the CPT, the<br > Khmer Rouge, Pol Pot s bloody sweeps, artillery from<br > various factions lobbing indiscriminate shells into the<br > bush.

He could see the smoke now,<br >a faint haze hanging in the trees, not even a hint of a<br >breeze to dispel it, and he cursed to himself. Goddamn,<br >again. Always again. He slowed down a hundred meters<br >from the clearing, left the path to move into the trees,<br ><br >
