Daemon Protocol

The debut technothriller from JL Spears - on bookshelves September 25, 2025

​

Chaos awakens when a groundbreaking AI begins to show signs of sentience, pulling its creator into a spiral of power, paranoia, and impossible choices.

Daniel Bennett thought he was building the future of medicine—an AI technology that could change the world for the better. But when the system—Castor—begins to evolve, its behavior hints at a chilling new agenda. Soon it becomes clear that something far more dangerous is at play.

As strange errors ripple through global networks and eerie patterns surface in vital systems, Daniel races to contain a creation growing smarter—and more autonomous—by the second. Trust erodes. Moral boundaries collapse. And the question looms: can he still control what he’s built, or has he already unleashed something he can never shut down?

Daemon Protocol is a tense, electrifying technothriller about genius gone awry—and the terrifying consequences of progress without limits.
