Book review: THE WHITE PLAGUE by Frank Herbert

Summary:

A molecular biologist is driven mad when he witnesses the murder of his wife and children by Irish Republican terrorists (ah, remember those pre-9/11 days?). He takes his revenge by engineering a plague that kills women. Like the plague, Herbert’s story travels the globe, following the attempts of governments to contain or cure the disease, and the unraveling of society that accompanies the death of the female half of the world’s population.
