The Immune is a political science fiction thriller novel written by "Doc" Lucky Meisenheimer. The novel is set in an apocalyptic and dystopian future, the narrative centers on humanity's struggle against a catastrophic biological threat known as an airwar. The protagonist, Navy Admiral Dr. John Long, leads a cohort of genetically immune individuals in an effort to save humanity from extinction, facing challenges from a corrupt global government.[citation needed]
The novel was officially released on May 13, 2011, during an event held at the YMCA Aquatic Center in Orlando, attended by over 800 guests. The launch also served as a fundraising event for the YMCA Aquatic Center's Scholarship Fund, generating $20,000. Subsequently, all proceeds from the book sales have been directed to support the Aquatic Center.[1]
Reflecting on its thematic depth, The Immune has been incorporated into the curriculum of advanced literature classes, notably at Dr. Phillips High School, highlighting its allegorical significance. In acknowledgment of the academic interest it garnered, a teacher's guide authored by Lucky Meisenheimer was announced for publication in 2013. Additionally, an audiobook version, narrated by Stefan Rudnicki,[2] was released in the same year, expanding the novel's accessibility.
