Summary
Sue Burke, author of Semiosis and Interference, gives listeners a new near-future, hard SF novel. Immunity Index blends Orphan Black with Contagion in a terrifying outbreak scenario.
In a US facing growing food shortages, stark inequality, and a growing fascist government, three perfectly normal young women are about to find out that they share a great deal in common.
Their creator, the gifted geneticist Peng, made them that way - before such things were outlawed.
Rumors of a virus make their way through an unprotected population on the verge of rebellion, only to have it turn deadly.
As the women fight to stay alive and help, Peng races to find a cure - and the cover-up behind the virus.
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books
Sue Burke spent many years working as a reporter and editor for a variety of newspapers and magazines before writing her critically acclaimed Semiosis. A Clarion workshop alumnus, Burke has published more than 30 short stories in addition to working extensively as a literary translator. She lives in Chicago.
Critic reviews
“Prescient and powerful, this is a gut-punch of a book...Sue Burke only gets better and better. She is a genuine if unsung hero of our genre.” (Seanan McGuire, author of A Killing Frost)
“Riveting world building by a rising star of science fiction.” (David Brin)

Good book, but too real
I think this was a good book, but I can't say I enjoyed it: I read sci-fi primarily to escape from our doomed world, and this book just hit too close to home. I was glad it ended on a hopeful note, this, in the end, made it worth it to persevere.
Sue Burke's writing is very engaging and I really got invested in the characters (especially the mammoth 🥲), all of whom had depth and development. The story was a bit lacking and not super innovative though.
The narration was excellent.
