 TO SAVE THE WORLD, THEY PLOTTED TO WIPE OUT ALL MALES!
 Here is a unique, and highly controversial combination of mystery, 
suspense, and science fiction that only Sam Merwin, Jr., author of the 
classic House of Many Worlds could write. This science fiction classic 
begins when Larry Finlay, a young and unsuspecting chemist, discovers 
sinister forces have taken an interest in his new approach to the 
seemingly innocuous problem of hemophilia. Soon, Finlay is unwittingly 
caught up in a nightmare plot of violence and counter-violence. Behind 
it is the sinister cabal that calls itself The White Widows. But who are
 what are they? When Larry learns all these events are tied in to the 
concept of parthenogenesis, he realizes that a certain woman scientist 
has found the secret of giving birth without the need of males. She and 
the other White Widows are determined to end war, greed, violence, 
poverty, and the idea of cut-throat competition by eliminating all men! 
Particularly the man named Larry Finlay! The only person he can turn to 
for help is the woman he loves. If he can trust her with his life... And
 he'll have to! The New York Times says Sam Merwin, Jr.'s sf novels are 
"Fast-moving." And the San Francisco Chronicle hailed them as 
"Entertaining and realistic." The editors of Galaxy magazine described 
The White Widows as "a masterpiece of danger, suspense, treachery and 
intrigue that will sweep you along with held breath, a great book." But 
Sf critic and editor Geoffery Kidd condemned it as "The war between the 
sexes gone nuclear... a nasty piece of work." Judge for yourself when 
you read this thought-provoking book that still remains controversial 50
 years after publication.
