Holy Smoke Screen

By Jonathan Thomas Stratman

Early morning gunfire erupts as Father Hardy and friends leave a Fairbanks breakfast. In addition to uniformed attackers and in-coming rounds, they're hearing distant unmistakable hand grenade and machine gun fire. Is this it? Is this real? The long-anticipated Russian invasion of the coveted Alaska Territory? Can this be the attack FBI Director J Edgar Hoover and others began predicting after World War II?
