Pratchett ’s sprawl Discworld serial , in general , isfantastic stuff and full of voltage — we ’re still hold off for the City WatchTV series , being develop in the U.K. But we ’d especially fuck to see a TVshow based onthe story of Tiffany Aching , a untested witch who befriends a tribeof little blue dude called the Wee Free Men . There ’s a lot of brilliantsilliness in these books , as you ’d expect — but there ’s also a solidcharacter - ground story about Tiffany learning to wield power with humbleness anddevote herself to help people rather than seeking glory . There ’s a richsupporting mold , and you could draw off on the whole full-bodied pageant of Discworld , but the core of the story is the character of Tiffany and her human relationship withher instructor Miss Level .

Here’sanother seriesthat would probably have to be oncable TV , if not premium cable television — there ’s a gay romance at the center of it , and at its mettle it ’s a series about Renaissance era manner andinstitutionalized dueling . Basically , a more fantasy - oriented interlingual rendition of The Tudors . What makes this serial apotential winnings on telecasting is that it ’s a secondary - world fantasy withvirtuallyno magic trick , so it could feel like a suitable successor to Game of Thrones , which famously bulge out with very little legerdemain . Sexyand swashbuckling , this series could rule the small screen .

Everybody ’s rushing to accommodate immature - grownup book series formovies and television . But where ’s our live - natural process of thisclassic kids ’ serial ? This is the story of Taran , who starts out as a immature assistantpig - keeper but slow grows to adulthood and rises to become a hero . Thesebooks may be for Thomas Kyd , but they have a like coming - of - long time theme to theTiffany Aching serial publication — or the Harry Potter serial , for that affair .

Like the Mars trilogy , thisbook seriesis especiallyrelevant nowadays because it trade with ecological prostration — the Earth isalready in uncollectible form when an alien ecology arrives and “ colonizes”our planet by introducing superior coinage . And it ’s up to a group of mankind tofigure out how to eliminate these invading plants and highly predatory animal , before it ’s too damn late for the human raceway . There could be some VFXchallenges in make the massive worms that give the series the“Chtorr ” name with their terrible noise — but after Falling Skies and the Skitters , I fullybelieve it ’s possible . This could be a smart , more focused Falling Skies . Plus a TV deal would provide Gerrold with an additional motivator to polish off theseries at long last .

Thisseriesis another one that could allow a naturalcompanion to Game of Thrones — the level of an bravo named Fitz who getsenlisted to save the Six Duchies by the Fool — a courtyard jester who claims to bethe White Prophet , able to shape the future using Fitz as his Catalyst . Wepresentedthe first glimpse of the next Fitz and Fool novelthe other day , butthere ’s already tons of dingy , spunky fabric in the existing novels , in which Fitzbattles the vicious Red - Ship Raiders and searches for a missing prince . double by John Howe .
