Harold Bartz, aka Bandit, has a low IQ which contrasts sharply with his delusions of grandeur. He flees Minneapolis after witnessing a murder. Once in Las Vegas, rather than hiding, he starts cooking up schemes. His pals, Banger and Diggs, soon join him. Bandit has company in Vegas: Yuri Vostov and Nikki Kerlenko, two Russian hit men sent by the sadistic Jethro Plack. A shady telemarketer, Plack separates guileless customers from their money. His company is in Minnesota, but he oversees Internet swindles from a hidden office in London. Plack's scam, Fortune Fate Lottery, gains the attention of Sean O'Dell, a St. Paul police lieutenant. O'Dell is investigating the explosion of Internet crime and its elderly victims. "C. J." Johannson, a Minneapolis cop, is assigned a suicide case. Lana Winton's death however, doesn't fit the profile of a suicide. C.J. begins gathering clues that lead him to Plack's office in St. Paul. Plack's elaborate scheme has evaded detection thus far. Working against him this time however, is his own man, hacker extraordinaire Tommy Ling, who becomes uncomfortable with the idea of destroying the lives of innocent victims. Ling hatches a plan to scam the scammers and become the Robin Hood Hacker. When Bandit finally comes forward, C. J. can go after Plack for murder and O'Dell can foil Plack's Internet scheme in London. With Plack behind bars, the Robin Hood Hacker makes headlines while Bandit and his pals stumble into a surprise in Vegas.
Could Human Evolution have been altered by an Alien intervention? Archaeological Professor Hiram May has stumbled upon a secret chamber inside a crumbling Chimú Temple in Peru. Paintings on pottery in the chamber tell the story of an expedition which may have taken their most sacred religious treasures into the mountains just before the Inca invaded and conquered them. Professor May gathers a small expedition and attempts to follow the clues on the pottery, but the Andes are vast and unexplored in the region he believes the lost town lies. Christopher Allen is an ex-cop visiting Peru with friends. A chance encounter with Professor May secures him an invitation to join the expedition. Renting an airplane for the professor, they take to the air and soon locate what could be the lost city. Wasting no time, Professor May and the expedition start the grueling trek to the ruins.

Chris and expedition member Tammy Hanson manage to escape and flee into the forbidding mountains. Chased by the guerrillas, they stumble onto a secret that could shake the very foundations of science and religion and usher in a new era of technological advancement and enlightenment. All they have to do is fight off the guerrillas, rescue any survivors of the attack and make it back to civilization alive.

We, as a species, have been blessed/cursed with the creativity and intelligence inherent in this phenomenal gift of mind. It has given us dominion over the natural world and set us above all the other creatures we share this planet with. But in so doing, it has isolated us in a world of our own making, one that has imprisoned and so, restricted our awareness to a purely mind-based, ego oriented, assessment of life. Within the confines of that lower frequency perspective, hope and all that hope would promise have had to substitute for the fulfillment a full awareness of this Moment is offering. Giving Up Hope will introduced to the Higher Knowledge and to the truth that will set you free. Allow its wisdom to help end your banishment and free you from the illusion of your mind-based perspective. It will educate, inspire, and uplift the egoic mind to the higher frequency of our Source and Creator. That omnipresent spirit is the essence of this very moment; your true Eternal Nature, and the love, unity and peace that is your sacred birthright and spiritual heritage. It awaits you here, in this, the ever present Now Moment, within the silent stillness of your own very Beingness.

Bruce Taylor, one of today's astute spiritual teachers issues a timely and sobering call back to the understanding of humanity's fallen spiritual state, and the Redemption provided to correct it.
