    Jake Maddox

    Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.

      CHAPTER 1

      MARKED

      I heard the whiz of the paintball go past my ear.

      Splat! It smashed against the bark of the huge oak tree I was hiding behind.

      I wasn’t doing a very good job of hiding. The paintball almost hit me right in the head.

      I couldn’t see the person who had tried to mark me. Quickly, I dove behind a bush.

      I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. Before I could do anything, though, I needed to check to make sure I wasn’t out of the game. If I’d been hit, that was it for me.

      There was only one way to find out. I had to get to a safe place. I needed to be able to take my helmet off. I didn’t really feel safe where I was, hidden behind the bush. That last shot had surprised me, because I thought I knew exactly where my opponents were.
