Episode Introduction

In a new episode of the Audio Signals Podcast, I journey into the fascinating world of Jeff Sheckter's debut novel, "The Daedalus Protocol". This gripping tale unfolds as a deadly pathogen threatens global catastrophe, prompting a mysterious figure named Daedalus to assemble a skilled team for an extraordinary mission. Led by SEAL commander Gryphon Oake, the team embarks on a treacherous archaeological quest, from ancient tombs to the Vatican, in search of a legendary artifact that could prevent imminent disaster.

I explore with Jeff how he transitioned from a tech and real estate background to writing a complex thriller that blends elements of his passions, his heritage, historical puzzles, and an action-packed narrative. He shares his journey of self-discovery and creative evolution, from an initial kernel of an idea to a best-selling novel, despite having no prior experience in fiction writing.

Jeff's story is a testament to following one's passion and the power of perseverance. He recounts how he used his analytical skills honed in tech and real estate to navigate the daunting world of publishing, ultimately achieving success with his first novel. His family played a pivotal role in this journey, with his sons contributing significantly to the editing process, even helping design the book's cover using AI technology.

This episode not only spotlights an intriguing thriller but also celebrates the human spirit's capability to venture into unknown territories and succeed, reminding us that sometimes, stepping out of our comfort zone can lead to extraordinary achievements.

About the Book

A deadly pathogen has been unleashed across the globe, killing livestock and destroying crops as it spreads. A near-extinction event from worldwide famine will be certain if it’s not stopped in time.

A mysterious man known only as Daedalus, possessing advanced technology and seemingly unlimited resources, has assembled a crew of notable soldiers and scientists for a mission to stop the coming plague.

Embarking on a perilous archeological odyssey, this elite team, led by SEAL commander Gryphon Oake, delves from the depths of ancient tombs to the heart of the Catholic Church in order to unearth a long-buried treasure required to save the world. Racing against time and a crazed zealot hell-bent on annihilation, they must find the location of the fabled Fountain of Youth to thwart the coming threat.

Unlock the mysteries of this pulse-pounding thriller, as the team deciphers puzzles from the age of the pharaohs and discover the true nature of immortality. To secure our future, they must reach back and uncover the secrets from our past.
