Fireline: A Gideon Marais Thriller

By Ben Kunz

A Gideon Marais Thriller
The code was meant to die with them.
In the shadowy days of a fading apartheid regime, a secret syndicate buried a fortune - not just in gold, but in influence, identities, and betrayal. And one man, Colonel Chris de Beer, a legend in covert operations under Paul Kruger a century before, laid the foundation for a secret that would echo through generations.
Now, decades later, that echo reaches Gideon Marais - former military intelligence, now a security consultant with a haunted past and little appetite for politics. But when a cryptic message surfaces from a long-dead ancestor, and his cousin Willem de Beer is pulled into a conspiracy that spans continents and centuries, Gideon is forced back into a deadly game he never asked to play.
As old enemies reawaken and new ones emerge with AI-driven tools and modern surveillance, Gideon races against time, decoding a hidden legacy that could either save the republic - or destroy it.
One bloodline.
One secret.
One chance to stop history from repeating itself.
Welcome to the beginning.
