He is a divine being for bringing attention to rasputina and the dong transylvania concubine. It was lost media to me for years until I heard it on Buffy when drusilla enters the series for the first time. Manson then had a remix of that song and took them on tour.

Dark intelligence is about an amorphous ai that sometimes chooses to look like a giant, sea urchin and the hunt for vengeance by a human victim of his during a galactic war. There is also giant, genocidal crab aliens named Prado. They are hyperintelligent and can pilot ships but still desire to eat and eradicate humans.

Arab nations only approved Desert Storm because the US and UK showed them fake satellite images showing Saddam was preparing to invade Saudi Arabia, at Thatcher's insistence. I'm surprised you don't see more people claim "Thatcher caused 9/11" desu

echopraxia was much worse than i remembered from reading it back when it came out. there was like a five page description of the main character navigating a hallway with wires sticking out everywhere. fucking atrocious. there's enough good stuff in there for a short story or maybe a novelette. i'm convinced someone made him pad it out artificially

Its not JUST a standard sword and sorcery.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj7kBeXB73k

It SET the standard for Sword and Sorcery choose your own adventure books during the 1980s and into the 90s. It introduced young readers into the concept of RPG games. It featured fantastic art and thrilling adventures.

Before the Lone Wolf games, these choose your own adventure games were entirely self contained. The Lone Wolf Books featured a sprawling storyline stretching through dozens of adventures with recurring allies and villains.

The author, Joe Dever, had lots of experience with role playing games and the stories, even though meant for young kids have a depth to them that you would associate with much more mature authors like Tolkien. The world feels complete and lived in.

Even after the books stopped being published the author, and later his son didn't want them to die so he allowed them to be posted online.

The covers were fantastic, but the books also had a lot of internal art that was just as good and set the mood for the stories.

This is Archlord Gnaag. He emerged as your nemesis through the first and second series of books. Finally defeating him was satisfying.

Kino

I’d go with Imajica getting a 8-part miniseries on HBO, books of blood adaptation through HBO and Weaveworld getting a 3 hour film adaptation. Hyperion should be a HBO miniseries also.

>>221131088
I actually started with the Grey Star The Wizard books, which were introduced to me by a friend, and then moved on to the Lone Wolf series.

As someone who had gotten a taste of D&D, but wouldn't have another chance to play it for several years, having the books was pretty awesome.

The author died back in 2016 at only 60; one hopes for more, these days.

I don't know if this is actually true... but I'm pretty sure it's really fucking true.

I would love to see Ender's Game & Ender's shadow adapted into a TV series.... though not today with modern Hollywood writing. The speaker trilogy could also make a fairly decent movie trilogy if they trimmed off some of the fat.

Stormlight Archive, but I don't think anyone would do it justice. I know there'll be a Mistborn series but that will be shit as animation is a better medium for that story.

I haven't watched it as it looked like shit, but probably not. Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to make a satisfying show out of anything more than a single book since that would require studios to commit to multiple seasons, decent writers and decent actors.

Still, maybe.
>>
>>221131770
I'd say it's possible. The story is pretty simple.
But I wouldn't watch it. I didn't even finish the first book--got too tired of the lead character, i.e. his gargantuan self-pity.
