 Rated 6/10
not published as sf - though it perfectly arguably is science fiction - this was frank herbert's second attempt to demonstrate he could write a non-category novel, and a "category best-seller" novel, at that: the result is an over-long and inadequately thought-through tome that could perhaps have made a competent sf novel from his pen^W typewriter; or perhaps also a "category best-seller" novel in collaboration with another author, or a more demanding editor, capable of providing or requiring credible technical background research upon viruses (etc.) - and also, unfortunately, believable characters.

the absence of either of these need not prevent a tome achieving actual best-seller sales figures, of course; but the absence of both ensures this is neither a classic novel nor particularly memorable.
