Three Days in April
Anders Jensen is having a bad month. His roommate is a data thief, his girlfriend picks fights in bars, and his best friend is a cyborg…and a lousy tipper. When everything is spiraling out of control, though, maybe those are exactly the kind of friends you need.

Drew Bergen is an Engineer. He builds living things, one gene at a time. He’s also kind of a doofus.
