Circus Bim Bom: A Cold War Adventure Kindle Edition

“Chaotic, funny, uncomfortable and strangely moving all at once.” ★★★★★ — I Got Lost in a BookThe Soviet Empire is unraveling. A Russian circus had just arrived in America.As The Ringmaster reminds us: “The best Soviet stories are like vodka — they burn with suffering, intoxicate with conflict, keep you stewing in reflection, and leave you yearning for your heart’s desire.”When the first privately owned Soviet circus arrived in America in 1990, its elite performers hoped to build cultural bridges through spectacular shows. Instead, this prestigious troupe stumbled into the full spectacle of Cold War America — mobsters, Soviet agents, political forces, and a cast of characters nobody could have invented.Circus director Yuri had to navigate treacherous waters where predators circled from every direction. As high-stakes conspiracies threatened to tear the circus family apart, they confronted an impossible choice: the authoritarian chains of home or the uncertain promise of freedom.Four romantic arcs beat like a pulse through the chaos — from opposites-attract heat to slow-burn vulnerability, from a young love triangle of denied feelings to forbidden desires so dangerous that exposure could mean career-ending exile.Please select ‘See All Details’ for character descriptions and images, editorial reviews, and romantic arcs.Based on true events the author learned in 1991, when the circus’s American road manager became a client at his Atlanta entertainment law firm.For readers who love history that misbehaves. Features 45+ embedded links to period music and historical footage — an immersive multimedia reading experience that brings Cold War America and the crumbling USSR gloriously, chaotically to life.
