Overview

Three Days in April by Edward Ashton

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.

In a world divided between the genetically engineered elite and the unmodified masses, Anders is an anomaly: engineered, but still broke and living next to a crack house. All he wants is to land a tenure-track faculty position, and maybe meet someone who’s not technically a criminal-but when a nightmare plague rips through Hagerstown, Anders finds himself dodging kinetic energy weapons and government assassins as Baltimore slips into chaos. His friends aren’t as helpless as they seem, though, and his girlfriend’s street-magician brother-in-law might be a pretentious hipster - or might hold the secret to saving them all.

Frenetic and audacious, Three Days in April is a speculative thriller that raises an important question: once humanity goes down the rabbit hole, can we ever find our way back?

This was a fun little jaunt into the world of tomorrow, and what the consequences might be if we keep pushing the envelope of human evolution.

I don't normally like novels that revolve through shifting points of view. But Edward Ashton does a great job with his four different recurring POV story tellers. All four main characters are endearing and loveable in their own quirky ways. And their independent chapters fit together to move the story along seamlessly and at a rollicking fun pace. I loved every minute of it. I look forward to reading whatever comes off Edward's keyboard next.
