Yet another very good review of The Great Game, this time from the BlueInk agency. Here’s a snippet of the book review:
“Set in Russian-controlled Baku, Azerbaijan, Togrul Bagirov’s The Great Game: Story of the First Oil War transports readers to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, during the ruthless fight for control of oil as the Russian Revolution gathers momentum in the background….
Carefully researched, the novel closely follows the political and industrial landscape of Baku and the events taking place on Russian territory at that time. The narrative explores the culture of the Baku people, the devastating poverty among the working class, the upheaval surrounding the revolution, and the business rivalries that characterized the oil industry.”
It is great to see such positive reception of this historical novel. Previously very good reviews praising the book have been published by IndieReader and by Foreword Magazine and Clarion Reviews. In addition to these book review agencies many individual readers have also been praising the book on different booksites.
