The White Plague, a marvelous and terrifyingly plausible blend of fiction and visionary theme, tells of one man 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 plague upon the human race---one that zeros in, unerringly and fatally, on women.
Set in Ireland. A very dark story of a man who, in order to avenge the death of his wife and children who were killed by an IRA bomber, creates a virus that kills only women.
