“He peoples the tale with figures like a (fictional) gorgeous female spy, and there are times when readers may feel they can almost touch one of the bejeweled Fabergé eggs Nobel collected and smell such Azerbaijani delicacies including caviar, shahslik and baklava. Bagirov paces the story nicely, as it grows from a boyhood adventure into coming-of-age tale into ascension to manhood and responsibility. This book’s appearance at a time when climate change threatens to bring THE GREAT GAME of the global petrochemical industry toward an end invests this title with a certain significance.“
