I am extremely proud to be part of Jacqui Murray’s amazing Blog Hop for Twenty-four Days, the latest in her Rowe-Delamagente tech-thriller series.
I first got to know Jacqui through her tips for writers on her blog – which, btw, I am envious of its clean and easy to navigate interface. https://worddreams.wordpress.com/
Jacqui Murray, as far as I can tell, is a techy and – dare I say – a little bit of a geek?
So, it’s no surprise that her novel is heavily heavenly sprinkled with – in her own words – “edgy science.”
In this novel you’ll encounter a robot that’s capable of self-awareness and expressing emotions. You’ll get a front row seat to invisible warships and dive into the inner workings of the warship cruiser, the USS Bunker Hill ( a cruiser which Jacqui’s daughter served on as an officer – talk about having a great research connection!).
I have a lot of admiration for Jacqui’s accomplishment in writing this series, not only because of the authenticity of the technology detailed in the novel but also because of her talent in putting together believable characters in an intriguing plot about a subject reflective of our times.
Synopsis of Twenty-four Days:
A former SEAL, a brilliant scientist, a love-besotted nerd, and a quirky AI have twenty-four days to stop a terrorist attack. The problems: They don’t know what it is, where it is, or who’s involved.

I’ve read the book and enjoyed it! Otto was a lot of fun too, trying to adapt to his new ‘body.’

I’m wondering what part he’ll play in the next book in the series. I’ve read a few books with sentient AIs and always wish they’d continue them.

I had fun writing about Otto, too. He’s pretty relevant with all the talk about Google’s new AIs!

Carol, such a glowing and warm tribute to Jacqui…and all true. I too came to know her through her website and have gleaned a lot of tech advice from there. I love your summary of her book and had to smile at the ‘heavy’ crossed out for ‘heavenly’! The technical detail is accessible and seamlessly added so works a treat.

Thanks for commenting, Annika. So true what you say about the technical details being accessible. You worded it so eloquently, in true Annika style.

Just between the three of us, I worried about that. I was relieved when my short-lived agent told me I’d done the geek stuff accessibly, and I’m happy that real readers agree!
