But the fire soon spreads to Turkey with plots to destroy the country's greatest treasures. Can they succeed? Follow the adventures of the wild hippies, diplomats, drug lords, tourists and US Peace Corps Volunteers in Istanbul, Edirne, Cappadocia, Konya, Ephesus, Troy and beyond-right up to the final cataclysm.
