It's been a year since this:
TMP link So maybe it's time to ask for any additional ideas. Have you discovered (or rediscovered) a historical novel that could make a good film? This was triggered by coming across my old copy of Shadow Hawk,which I'm rereading. I'd love to see a movie, though I still fear Norton's typically lean,tightly plotted story would likely be turned into a bloated Hollywood mess. BTW,apologies if this has already become a poll--I don't remember,and there doesn't appear to be a way to search polls. |

How about one of the Flashman novels? Maybe with Robert Downey, Jr., in the lead role. |

Any of Douglas Reeman/Alexander Kent's books. Ditto for Dudley Pope and Victor Suthren. Lindsey Davis' "Iron Hand of Mars" would score on both the military and dectective scales. |

The Camulod Chronicles by Jack Whyte.
How Few Remain by Harry Turtledove.
The Eagle Series by Simon Scarrow. |

I would definitely add USS Lincoln by Scott Perry. Even if they never make the movie someone should secure the rights. For a large amount too. |
