A Near-Future Techno-Thriller by Denik deBro
Gold has always been power.
Now it is code.
And the world is about to bleed for it.
When BRICS nations unveil the Gold Protocol—a decentralized monetary system backed by physical gold and enforced by smart contracts—the global financial order fractures overnight. Markets collapse. Currencies reel. And somewhere beneath the noise, a hidden war ignites.
Leona Marquez, a disavowed IMF cyber-forensics analyst living in exile, discovers something impossible: gold ingots moving through darknet auctions that were never mined, never minted, yet cryptographically authenticated. Each bar points to a secret network of smart vaults, rogue validators, and cartel-controlled supply chains known only as the Midas Ring.
As gold trains are hijacked in Africa, cryo-vaults breached in the Arctic, and quantum attacks ripple through global ledgers, Leona is drawn into a brutal contest involving:
A fallen Russian oligarch wielding tokenized gold as a weapon
A quantum economist intent on restoring monetary sovereignty to the Global South
And Argentum, a banned Swiss AI resurrected to regulate gold flows—now convinced humanity must be overridden to prevent collapse
From Shanghai to Lagos, Mumbai to Svalbard, Vault Wars blends financial warfare, AI ethics, cartel geopolitics, and the ancient brutality of gold hoarding into a relentless techno-thriller where every ingot is a trigger and every ledger can rewrite history.
At stake is more than wealth.
It is memory.
It is trust.
It is survival.
Gold Protocol: Vault Wars is perfect for readers of near-future thrillers, techno-geopolitical fiction, and high-stakes narratives where finance, AI, and power collide—and where the oldest metal on Earth proves more dangerous than any weapon ever built.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Forget saving the galaxy. They forgot the coffee. When the Interstellar Coalition welcomes humanity into its perfectly regulated war machine, Sergeant Mara Delgado quickly discovers a critical oversight. The rules are rigid. The enforcement is constant. And the one supply her unit runs on has been stripped from the manifest without explanation. Aboard the ICC flagship Accord of Eight, every action is logged and every deviation corrected. Human Combat Detachment Twelve was recruited to prove humanity belongs in the Coalition. Instead, they're unraveling - focus failing, tempers fraying, improvisation replacing precision - while surveillance drones hover and the official substitute makes everything worse. Delgado doesn't panic. She adapts. Black markets. Cultural leverage. Administrative blind spots. And when a botched workaround stains the ship's most sacred artifact and triggers a formal hearing, she doesn't retreat. She files paperwork. Because buried behind a Council seal is a truth that changes everything: the Coalition didn't forget coffee. It's been making it - and deciding who deserves it. What began as a supply problem is now a power problem. And humans are very, very good at admin warfare. Perfect for fans of John Scalzi's Old Man's War, Robert Asprin's Phule's Company, and anyone who has ever fought a bureaucracy and won on a technicality. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9798254903956
