      The rest of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy series

      Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

        Good shout.

        Also, the wheel of time series seems set up to follow in GoT's footsteps. Might be just a little too fantasy though.

          Never heard of it, but looked it up. Might buy it and read it.

            The Book of Lies by Brad Meltzer

            Agincourt by Bernard Cornwell. (other book series by Cornwell should be made into TV series). I may come up with some others.

              If you do (and I highly recommend you do) then you'll want to start with Wool Omnibus Edition (Wool 1 - 5) (Silo Saga)

              Then move to Shift Omnibus Edition (Shift 1-3) (Wool Trilogy Book 2)

              My fear is that a movie gets made and is butchered a la "John Carter of Mars" 🙁

                my eyesight sucks so I am an audible member, 24 unabridged audio books a year.

                I listened to a sample of wool unfortunately it's read by a Valley Girl.

                    it is. I don't know what that gig pays but there are so many actors out there it seems like you should never settle for a second rate performance.

                          The Book of Lies is a mystery that centers on the creation of Superman and the death of Jerry Siegel's father. Some of it takes place at the Siegel house on Kimberly Ave. where Superman was "born".

                                    It may have fallen down a bit on some points. But I thought it did a very good job at dwelling into the motivations of the young Jerry Seigel and his reasons for creating Superman. At a young age he had lost his dad who was a cop to a bullet, a mystery that I believe has never been solved.

                                    In essence, he wanted to create a hero who would be essentially invulnerable to replace his dad.

                                    I mean, Dude, it wasn't a Superman comic book.

                                        If you do (and I highly recommend you do) then you'll want to start with Wool Omnibus Edition (Wool 1 - 5) (Silo Saga)

                                        Then move to Shift Omnibus Edition (Shift 1-3) (Wool Trilogy Book 2)

                                        And finish with Dust (Wool Trilogy Book 3)

                                        My fear is that a movie gets made and is butchered a la "John Carter of Mars" 🙁

                                        :::edit::: Well look what I just found

                                        Ridley Scott ( Prometheus) acquired the film rights.. 🤔

                                        John Carter of Mars was awesome.. I thought Prometheus was boring and predictable.
