A warm day in Dublin, a crowded street corner. Suddenly, a car-bomb explodes, killing and injuring scores of innocent people. From the second-floor window of a building across the street, a visiting American watches, helpless, as his beloved wife and children are sacrificed in the heat and fire of someone else's cause.

From this shocking beginning, the author of the phenomenal Dune series has created a masterpiece. The White Plague is a marvelous and terrifyingly plausible blend of fiction and visionary theme. It tells of one man's revenge, of the man watching from the window who is pushed over the edge of sanity by the senseless murder of his family and who, reappearing several months later as the so-called Madman, unleashes a terrible vengeance upon the human race.

John Roe O'Neill is a molecular biologist who has the knowledge, and now the motivation, to devise and disseminate a genetically carried plague - a plague to which, like those that scourged mankind centuries ago, there is no antidote, but one that zeroes in, unerringly and fatally, on women.

As the world slowly recognizes the reality of peril, as its politicians and scientists strive desperately to save themselves and their society from the prospect of human extinction, so does Frank Herbert grapple with one of the great themes of contemporary life: the enormous dangers that lurk at the dark edges of science. The White Plague is a prophetic, believable, and utterly compelling novel.

The combination of Frank Herbert and Scott Brick is spectacular! The story develops slowly but leaves you in suspense throughout. The realism is palpable and even though it is far fetched Mr. Herbert somehow masterfully made it seem real. A great performance by Mr. Brick.

This book is scary with similarities to what humanity just went through

to enjoy this story from 1983. It's a bit dated but that should not detract from the story.
I found it thoughtful and interesting and appreciated it's accuracy for it's time.
What people do when threatened with a worldwide plague is the subject and the characters responded much as I think they would have at the time.
Worth the time and credit.

I read this book many many years ago and enjoyed it so I thought I’d enjoy it again through an audio book. But the narration was just too annoying. His reading is over the top dramatic for every single sentence. Something like the animated Dudley do-right show announcer (which works for a whimsical cartoon but not a dramatic novel). I sped the reading up to 1.2 speed which helped but at about 4 hours in, I gave up. There’s a lot of unnecessary and long descriptions in the story which was probably made more tedious by the narration.

Good book but annoying narration

A man kills another man's wife and children so does he go kill that guy? Nope. he unleashed a plague to kill all the women. Of course he does, because women need to be punished for men being stupid. Then women are further punished by being turned into brood mares. Just a totally (f*d) messed up storyline. and the narrator is too dramatic.

The premise is petty messed up.
