As a disaster worker, a chemical weapons response consultant, a SWAT instructor, a kayaker, a climber, and a lover of adventure Vin D'Angelo has filled his life with rich experiences and colorful companions. His adventures have shown him a surprising world peopled with good guys, bad guys, sad guys, and even some giants.

There are no campfires in these ten stories, but there are some real characters. Zeke Anson returns in a story about disaster and rescue.

Rich, in his wheelchair, remembers the goodness that came from another war. Ed Duncan loves a ghost; Ned fights savagery; Dick knows horror; and Streak discovers giants. They'll all share their marshmallows if you'll light the fire.
