Praise for Immunity Index This hits close to home. --Publishers Weekly This dystopian biothriller reads like a 21st-century version of Michael Crichton's The Andromeda Strain, crossed with George Orwell's 1984. . . . hopeful, heartbreaking, and compelling at every turn. Highly recommended for readers of dystopian science fiction or political technothrillers. --Library Journal, starred review A fast-paced hard-sf thriller... Burke imparts detailed discussions on genetics within a dramatic and thought-provoking story of inequality, humanity and family. For fans of the Orphan Black television series or Chuck Wendig's Wanderers (2019). --Booklist Prescient and powerful, this is a gut-punch of a book . . . Sue Burke only gets better and better.
