ROFL!

Actually, their informant ratted them out. No fry sauce involved. I suspect fry sauce was scarce in 1980s Siberia.

Sounds like he signed a movie deal. Even if it is with a Utah company, that's cool for the author, I think.

well, well, well. This sounds pretty cool, despite the fact that the guy isn't a polished writer, based on your comments. I'll be adding this to my Amazon cart, I think. Along with Austenland. ;)
