Pacific book review
Murder on the Naval Base -Laced together as tightly as a pair of military combat boots, the impeccably written story Murder on the Naval Base, by author Behcet Kaya, transports the reader from zero to Mach 2 as fast as an F-18 Hornet catapulted off the flight deck of a carrier. Beginning with a blurry account of a cold-blooded shooting of a couple, singled out while having dinner at an Officer’s Club, the prime suspect is apprehended hours later while apparently attempting to flee the state. With over a dozen eye-witnesses collaborating the incident, little was left in the puzzle for the military investigators to piece together; especially once it was determined the two victims were in fact the perpetrator’s wife and the man she was having an on- going affair with.
After the shocking beginning of the novel, Behcet Kaya stylishly brings the reader back on a journey throughout the life and career of the characters while interlacing the technical jargon and vernacular of naval flight training and the nuances of the military lifestyle. Behcet Kaya, in a seamless scenario of terse chapters, creates realistic visual images in the readers’ mind of grey painted ships and planes, officers in pressed-perfect uniforms, military discipline with all its pomp and circumstance, and the unfaltering code of honor upheld by our country’s finest fighting forces. Combined with a steamy undercurrent of lust, love, sexual fulfillment, jealousy and primordial desires of the cast of characters, the human condition of married life versus the structure and demands of military careers are juxtaposed against the strength and will of personal upbringing and ethical behavior.
The story circles back to the opening scene mid-way through the book, as Behcet Kaya revealed a style and acumen of writing with his plot machination bringing to my thoughts a “wow factor;” totally creating a partition to his story for what becomes a series of court scenes, laden with wonderfully intense exchanges of dialogue and offering inexhaustible stimulation of thought. The cool part of this half of the book is the reader has “just lived through” all of the stories being examined and cross- examined by the JAG and private attorney. So confidently is the story told, that Behcet Kaya actually tells the reader of the ending prior to the finale, then executes the action creating what becomes a “play within a novel culminating to a climax.” It is very rare to see such mastery of writing as contained within Murder on the Naval Base, as I definitely believe it will receive accolades from many book contests, publishers’ recognition awards, reviewers’ praise and certainly the public opinion. I feel very privileged to have had an introductory release for this review.
Easily adaptable for a screenplay and an excellent choice for a Hollywood blockbuster, Murder on the Naval Base has elements of other excellent stories and movies within its sub-structure. I found my mind drifting to scenes from Top Gun with the pilots finesse doing carrier landings at night and their fiercely competitive and confrontational personalities; and the court scene had the bold clarity of dialogue reminiscent in A Few Good Men. Although possessing elements of excellence brought out in other various forms of media, Murder on the Naval Base floats on its own keel of originality; offering the reader a page-turner of excitement, legal intrigue, psychologically thrilling moments, steamy sex and military honor - complete with a surprise that is foreshadowed so brilliantly, even the most seasoned reader will raise an eyebrow at the end with humble acknowledgement of the literary mastery contained herein. All this within the galley text of the second major work of Behcet Kaya suggests to me we have much more to see from the keyboard of this very interesting and skilled author.
