The Treasure of Nguyen Van Thieu

By William Kergroach

In 2126, oil is dead, the internet is gone, and microchips are worth more than gold.** Liang is a former elite commando turned Triad courier in Chongqing, one of the last great industrial cities of a broken world. His job is simple: carry thirty high-value industrial processors across southern China to the Vietnamese border town of Mong Cai. There, they will be exchanged for the last hidden cache of Nguyen Van Thieu's treasure - gold stolen during the fall of Saigon and lost for more than a century. The mission should be routine. It isn't. The freight trains are filthy, the roads are collapsing, and the borderlands are full of corrupt militias, smugglers, bounty hunters, and men willing to kill for less than what Liang carries on his back. Worse, someone inside his own organization wants him dead before he reaches Vietnam. From the coal-smoked heights of Chongqing to the jungles and river crossings of the Chinese-Vietnamese frontier, The Treasure of Nguyen Van Thieu is a gritty post-apocalyptic thriller, a dystopian road novel, and a survival adventure rooted in real geography, local detail, and hard travel. Packed with Triad intrigue, brutal action, broken infrastructure, and immersive worldbuilding, it offers a dark vision of Asia after collapse - where silicon controls water, power, medicine, and life itself. Liang does not fight for glory. He fights to finish the job and make it home alive. Perfect for readers of post-apocalyptic fiction, dystopian thrillers, military survival fiction, crime adventure, and richly detailed worldbuilding set in China and Southeast Asia.
