They created an 18 point contest with very tempting prizes for contestants with exceptional results. Once the contest and its rules were known to the world, thousands of applicants came forward and hundred of world financial gurus volunteered their money and time to make all of this a reality. Some of the 18 points consisted of methods to resolve the following basic world problems. Food and water scarcity, elimination of nuclear weapons, guaranteed democratic elections in all countries, a world supreme court, how to resolve the world immigration problem, weather and disaster control, faster travel, cure of all major diseases, abolishment of all dictator-led governments. These and several others ideas created a positive world-wide reaction. However, these ideas also created criminal opposition groups. The success of the contest would cause many distress and alter their power structure. These negative groups would attempt to put a stop to the contest. With the help of internationally led secret service inspector Arcand and his very special aid Agustina, kidnappings and extortion attempts were neutralized. What finally happened to the contest? Who became involved? How did the White House help? Why did the Nobel prize organization get involved? Did Russia and China agree with the contest? How would it affect them? These and other questions will be answered in this action filled adventure.
