About this listen

When any biological matter can be used to create life, stolen celebrity DNA sells to the highest bidder—or the craziest stalker—in this propulsive thriller.

With a vivid imagining of the future, _Gattaca _meets Black Mirror in Kira Peikoff’s Baby X.

In the near-future United States, where advanced technology can create eggs or sperm from any person’s cells, celebrities face the alarming potential of meeting biological children they never conceived. Famous singer Trace Thorne is tired of being targeted by the Vault, a black market site devoted to stealing DNA. Sick of paying ransom money for his own cell matter, he hires bio-security guard Ember Ryan to ensure his biological safety.

Ember will do anything she can to protect her clients. She knows all the Vault’s tricks—discarded tissues, used straws, lipstick tubes—and has prevented countless DNA thefts. Working for Thorne, her focus becomes split when she begins to fall for him, but she knows she hasn’t let anything slip—love or not, his DNA is safe. But then she and Thorne are confronted by a pregnant woman, Quinn, who claims that Thorne is the father of her baby, and all bets are off.

Brilliantly plotted and terrifyingly prescient, Baby X is an unpredictable and relentless speculative thriller perfect for fans of Blake Crouch and John Marrs.

This futuristic book is an interesting take on DNA and its use. It held my attention but there isn’t anything between the pages that is outstanding.

Interesting take on future DNA

Kira Peikoff's “Baby X” is an undeniably creative, edge-of-your-seat near-future thriller that raises the timely philosophical issues of the trade-offs between genetic property rights, population health, and market freedom.

The story centers around ‘The Vault’, an underground platform that democratizes genetic health by allowing prospective parents to provide their children with superior genes—offering more than their own biology could. That ‘hidden lab’ element of the story is made it very enjoyable to read. “Baby X” raises complex questions of loyalty, ethics, DNM design, and the future of genetic health, wrapped in a fast-paced narrative. Another tension-fueled medical fiction masterpiece by Peikoff; hopefully with more on the horizon.

I enjoyed the unexpected twists. I tolerated the outlandish sci-fi components because they were entertaining enough and they were pertinent for the book to happen. I ESPECIALLY enjoyed the story told from the POV’s. Nice touch. Makes me want to become a writer.
