The Viking Sands: Endgame is a sequel to the original thriller, The Viking Sands. It unfolds against a continuing global oil crisis where the price of crude has soared to record levels, causing economic and political chaos worldwide. A catastrophic nuclear exchange in the Middle East over oil had earlier produced a globe-encircling cloud of fallout leaving widespread radiation sickness, hunger and violent civil unrest in its wake. In the midst of all of this chaos the Russians initiate a plan to corner the world's oil markets to restore themselves to economic supremacy after having endured years of humiliating marginalization. Using oil as his trump card, Russia's authoritarian President vows to succeed economically where the former Soviet Union had failed politically. The Russians must first remove all of their competitors through covert sabotage. But they cannot achieve their objective without deploying the formidable destructive power of the oil-consuming Viking sands from Mars - the most devastating weapon of the 21st century. Only fugitive Albert Stern, the rogue NASA scientist, still has access to the last of the sands left on Earth. A frantic race develops between the Russians and the Americans to find Stern and his devastating weapon. In a series of dramatic twists and turns, oil production in several key OPEC countries is shut down; energy-starved China is drawn into the international turmoil; and the Russians are forced to repel an attack against their own oil reserves in the Far East. When the Russians finally attempt a clandestine strike against the US's petroleum reserves the Americans must take desperate retaliatory measures in a last-ditch effort to halt the Russians' bid for world economic domination. Throughout the ensuing turmoil three of the world's biggest nuclear powers are brought into a terrifying confrontation. The many strands of this fast-paced thriller are expertly woven together and brought to a staggering denouement. Will Stern be found? Who will finally possess the last of the Viking sands? Will they be used once more to wreak cataclysmic havoc and destruction? Who will finally prevail - the forces of good or evil? The pulsating events of this novel are disturbingly topical. We live in a dangerous world where sometimes fiction can be outpaced by reality. This is what gives The Viking Sands: Endgame a razor edge and a frightening glimpse into a possible dystopian future.

What we truly are is bliss, love and peace. However, by always following our 'monkey minds' we prevent ourselves from experiencing the permanent happiness of our true nature. What then can we do? One of the means of training our minds to be still, advises Swami Premananda, is to carefully observe our speech. What we say and what we listen to can either distance us from our inherent peace of mind or bring us closer to it. The first part of this booklet contains excerpts from some of Swamiji's discourses, giving suggestions on how to overcome the gossiping and criticizing tendencies of human nature and on the good use of our two sense organs related to speech-the mouth and ears. In the second part, Swamiji's teachings lead us from outer silence to inner silence. May these wise words, spoken with divine love, help you on your journey towards enduring and ineffable bliss, love and peace.
