- THREE
- DAYS
- IN
- APRIL

- bad
- month.

- in

- a
- lousy
- tipper.
- When

- is

- 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
- a
- blend
- of
- science
- fiction
- and
- psychological
- thriller
- that
- raises
- an
- important
- question:
- once
- humanity
- goes
- down
- the
- rabbit
- hole,
- can
- we
- ever
- find
- our
- way back?
