In "The Peacemaker," Konga, weakened after a playful excursion at the North Pole, swims to the tropical island nation of Moderno in search of warmth and healing. There, he uncovers a secret plot by a ruthless dictator and his Soviet allies to invade a neighboring country—just as he’s beginning to recover.
In "Land of the Odd," a circus animal trainer recounts a wild tale to his skeptical coworkers: years ago, while trekking through Africa with an explorer, he scaled a forbidden mountain and encountered a tribe of elders who aged imperceptibly, along with creatures unlike any known to science. Now back in America with a peculiar monkey companion, he’s dismissed as a liar—until the animal suddenly speaks, leaving his audience stunned.
