Which VSF novel (or series of novels) most deserves to be made into a movie? (Excluding novels already made into movies…) |

A proper adaptation of LXG would be great. |

I'm with evilcartoonist-- the Mortal Engines (heck, the whole series), would be an amazing film. The Traction Cities, Anna Fang, the Stalker Grike, the Jenny Hanover… the visuals alone would be stunning. Technically, it's not really VSF, but who cares! |

+1 everyone above on The Peshawar Lancers |
| Callsign 21 | 27 Mar 2015 4:24 a.m. PST |
Leviathan series, Scott Westerfield. Not quite Victorian, but not long after. |
| Mute Bystander | 27 Mar 2015 5:17 a.m. PST |
Jules Verne – Five Weeks in a Balloon |
| Frederick | 27 Mar 2015 6:30 a.m. PST |
Peshawar Lancers – although the Lost Regiment series would be neat as well |
| boy wundyr x | 27 Mar 2015 6:39 a.m. PST |
+1 to Peshawar Lancers, plus the Pax Britannia series (Jonathan Green is the main author) and Jules Verne's pair of novels about the steam-elephant. |

Peshawar Lancers! Did anybody else say that yet? ;) |

"John Carter of Mars, done correctly!" It already was, regardless of what you think. |

Gulliver of Mars
The Anubis Gates
Lost Things
At the Mountains of Madness
The Lost World (again) |

The Insidious Dr. Fu Manchu or better yet, Cay Van Ash's 2 novels starring the Devil Doctor. |
| dampfpanzerwagon | 27 Mar 2015 10:47 a.m. PST |
I like the idea of some Space 1889 adventures on the big screen. I also think that John Carter of Mars was done correctly. Tony |
| McWong73 | 27 Mar 2015 2:21 p.m. PST |
Agree on JCM, went in knowing that main stream film reviewers got it wrong, and was gladly proven correct. Yeah, slow start and it shouldn't have opened on Mars, but once he's on Mars the film just clicked into place. Got to check out this Peshawar Lancers…first I've heard of it… |
| cybrt54 | 27 Mar 2015 2:29 p.m. PST |
My 2 cents worth for both or these. Peshawar Lancers and the Leviathan series, by Scott Westerfield |
| tsofian | 27 Mar 2015 4:48 p.m. PST |
Mortal Engines
Anti Ice (This was Steampunk written very early on
The Difference Engine-the first steampunk novel to get wide press as such |
| Dynaman8789 | 28 Mar 2015 9:18 a.m. PST |
I'll ditto War of the Worlds – done in the original setting and having nothing to do with that animated one a few years back. |
| Lion in the Stars | 28 Mar 2015 12:33 p.m. PST |
Peshawar Lancers, definitely. It's a bit off the usual beaten path for VSF, but Lilith Saintcrow's "Bannon and Clare" series. More magical than scifi, but it has clockwork prostheses, scary levels of technology and a very RDJunior's-Holmes-esque "mentath". And did I forget to mention the Gryphon-riding cavalry? |
| freecloud | 29 Mar 2015 5:04 a.m. PST |
Space Captain Smith series |
| tnjrp | 29 Mar 2015 7:38 a.m. PST |
Felix Gilman's "The Revolutions" and Adam Robets' "Swiftly" for something a little different from the norm. Ditto for Robert Charles Wilson's "Darwinia" if it counts (it doesn't really tho). And let's throw in Joe Benitez's "Lady Mechanica" for excrement and laughter with repeated short, spasmodic sounds as well. |
