Travelsapien Endorses - Kazakhstan 'Radioactive Jane'

Another great read from Hunter Blacke. This set of books always brings into the general line of the story almost a Travelogue look at the locations. This gives the reader an inside seat on the locations where they can identify with the Operatives, Spies and Assassins. Like it as a Travel Book. Sort of.

TRAVELSAPIEN ENDORSES - ARMENIA CAPER

 
 
Great read on Kindle Amazon. Having visited Armenia during the time this novel is set in I can attest to the fact the accuracy is amazing. As to the story I understand it is a creative licence in motion. Nice mix. I think this fits into a Travel Journal of sorts. Gives a time capsule look at a little country that went through some very difficult times. Congratulations to Armenia for making a super hero recovery.

The 2nd in the Hunter Blacke Chronicles just published. This one takes place in Armenia. Hunter hooks up with his old friends to unravel a plot to sabotage the games with cheating, manipulation, and deaths. Couple to this is another level of criminality with countries using the games as a cover to engage in covert Arms dealing. Throughout this mirage a new associate joins in to assist however they are very shadowy, clandestine, and brings a totally wild card to the pack. Good historical stuff included rounds out the reads as entertainment and somewhat educating about a country few know anything about. Definitely a Travelsapien recommendation to visit. Beautiful place.

Icherisheher - The Old City Baku


In the Middle Ages Icherisheher had two main entrance doors opening to the well (Shamakhy door and Salyan door). Customs Board and bathhouse located next to these doors. Caravans coming to the city via the “Silkway” were sent to the bathhouse. They were permitted to enter the city only upon being cleaned. It proves that sanitary and hygienic requirements were maintained in Baku in the middle ages. One of these bathhouses remains unearthed in the place of the Baku khans’ house, left to the Gosha Gala Gapilary. This nameless bathhouse was constructed during the peaceful period of the Shirvanshahs’ state approximately in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. As all bathhouses of Icherisheher, this bathhouse also was constructed underground in order to keep stability of the temperature. Gradually, the thickness of the earth layer increased and completely covered the bathhouse. Although the bathhouse is underground, according to its surviving walls it’s possible to say that its premises are covered with domes. The domes of the bathhouse are located over the ground surface. Light was falling into the bathhouse through the holes in the domes. Such bathhouse system is typical for Baku and Absheron. Upon complete occupation of Icherisheher by the Russians in 1906 the territory of the present underground bathhouse (in yard of the Baku khans, in bottom of the fortress walls) turned into Russian commandant's office. Namely in this period, the domes of the unserviceable bathhouse with its destroyed part was demolished and covered with earth. Two windows of the bathhouse presently exist in the fortress wall left of the Gosha Gala Gapisy.
