Synopsis

When young American Corey Brotano joins the Air Force in 1956, and is stationed in Ankara, Turkey, his life begins a new era as he plunges headfirst into the dynamics of a small community of Americans far from home. Relationships develop as people dangerously dance with love, a young woman is betrayed, a murder committed, a cunning killer weaves a sinsiter web, and some feel the wrath of Turan-an agent in the Secret Police. Further intrigue involves a blackmailer, gay former movie star, a gossipy woman, heroic taxi driver, two young terrorist Kurds, a unique prison break adventure, and the Compound:an economical erotic paradise. Enchancing the novel are quaint facts and customs of exciting Turkey, and reminiscences of the Fifties. Poet Emily Dickinson said, "There is no frigate (ship) like a book to take us lands away." And so CHAMPAGNE DAYS will transport you on an intoxicating journey through a sea of suspense. And you won't even need a passport!
