There's a series of five books (it's actually eighteen but the main series is the first five) called 'Necroscope' about a bloke who can talk to the dead and has to fight a bunch of ancient vampires.

It's bloody brilliant reading. Just the right amount of B-movie schlock horror stuff.

Exactly the sort of series Netflix would commission and then cancel after one season.

There's been talk of Robert Muchamore's CHERUB series being adapted for over 10 years now, but nothing has ever come of it. They did a decent job with Alex Ryder imho.

The Day after Roswell - Colonel Philip J. Corso

Mind blowing stuff , The Pentagons covert release of alien technology through private companies , such things as the microchip ,fibre optic cables and wires and night vision technologies .

One book that I've read recently, that IS being made into a film, and will be released in May next year is 'The Salt Path'

I'm planning to do that same walk (South West Coast path - it's approx 630 miles without any deviations)

Looking forward to it.

Bloody Southerners by Spencer Vignes with Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall as Clough and Taylor (again). Mmm... who to cast as Pete Ward, Tony Towner and Sully etc?

I'll take anything that isn't either some Swedish crime novel or one of a billion rewrites of Enuma elish.

a few weeks ago I was reading Conclave by Robert Harris and thought “this could make a good film.

and it has been released as such a few days ago, and it is very good indeed.

The rest of (or even a better version of) the Narnia Series - starting with The Magicians Nephew, which is actually the first in the series (as I have often been heard to say).
