In a US facing growing food shortages, stark inequality, and a fascist government, three perfectly normal young women will discover they share something in common. Something. . . abnormal. Their creator, the gifted geneticist Peng, made them that way-before such things were outlawed. A seemingly harmless new virus makes its way through an unprotected population on the verge of rebellion, only to turn deadly. As the women fight to stay alive, Peng races to find a cure-and the cover-up behind the virus.
Praise for Immunity Index"This hits close to home. "--Publishers Weekly"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 "Riveting world building by a rising star of science fiction. "--David Brin Praise for Semiosis"This is up there with Ursula K. Le Guin: science fiction at its most fascinating and most humane. "--Thrillist"A fascinating world. "--The Verge"A solid debut. "--SFRevu "A magnetic meditation on biochemistry and humanity. "--Locus Online "This first-contact tale is extraordinary. "--Library Journal (starred review) "Sharp, evocative . . . Semiosis unfolds the old science fiction idea of first contact in ways that are both traditional and subversive. "--The Christian Science Monitor"A clever, fascinating, fun and unique debut. "--KirkusBurke' s world building is exceptional, and her ability to combine the intricacies of colonization with the science of botany and theories of mutualism and predation is astounding. --Booklist"Impressive debut novel . . . lush . . . beautiful. "--Publishers Weekly, starred review
