About Taking a Long Shot by Dave Cassier
The modern wartime military baggage train consists of thousands of civilian workers. This was also true during the Vietnam War. Liaisons between American civilians and Vietnamese women were common. It was not just soldiers having their ‘Miss Saigon’ moments.
This novella tells of the romance between Wade Kendell, a motor mechanic from California, and Mai, a bar girl in Saigon. Not only was Wade paid far more than at home, his money went even further in Vietnam allowing him the pick of beautiful oriental girls, but not everything is meant to be.

He then worked in the oil exploration industry, and has remained as a contractor in the Asia-Pacific region ever since.
