The Armchair Traveler's Club discussion

Jason Smart writes about his travels in these and other places in his books: The Red Quest: Travels Through 22 Countries of the Former Soviet Union & Rapid Fire Europe: City Hopping in 22 Western European Countries.

I have been meaning to read The Red Quest for some time - I understand it's rather good.

I've never written about Central Europe as such, but there's a chapter on the former Soviet Central Asia in my book The Nine Horizons.
