Specimen The drinks are iced coffee, and bubble tea. One of the MC's, Sonny, is partial to both, and the drinks make regular appearances on page. The other MMC, David, would probably choose a simple coffee, or a freshly squeezed juice if he had the option. (Sorry, David, no options for you!)  Next up, my Spy Thriller novella, Jingle Jingle Kill, which is set in the same 'verse as Specimen.
