"Good book but why not a movie?" according to Tony. I read the paperback of this book 20 years ago and I have liked this book ever since. I think it is a great book by a great author with a great speculative ending based on potential scientific outcomes! I suspect that since 9-11 books like this are too how-to explicit to make into a movie but I think that if we could go back Good book but why not a movie?

"Good Start Soon Becomes Laborious" according to Jeffrey Swystun. I am not a huge fan of science fiction but I do enjoy post-apocalyptic story lines. So the overview, reviews, and book jacket sold me that this work from Herbert could be an interesting and entertaining romp. And indeed, it did start out that way with an engaging setup for the book involving the IRA, a scientist and his family, and the question of terrorism which unfortunately remains an important part of our lives. However, the book soon devolved into one part Crichton pseudo science, one part religious/moral debate, and one small part action and entertainment. Not that . Fun for the Mind set Free! John Sheppard Frank Herbert is one of the finest writers of all time. He is able to address just about any topic and over the course of a highly prolific career has done just about that. He has inspired many another author as well as opened many new ideas in the area of science fiction. All of today's and tomorrows problems have been imagined and played out on his canvas!

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. From this shocking beginning, the author of the phenomenal Dune series has created a masterpiece. The White Plague is a prophetic, believable, and utterly compelling novel.. 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. The White Plague is a marvelous and terrifyingly plausible blend of fiction and visionary theme. For 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
