Steven Erikson’s Bio from the Malazan Empire website –
Steven Erikson is a pseudonym used by Steven Rune Lundin, who grew up in Winnipeg, Canada and currently lives in Victoria, British Columbia with his wife and son.
He is an anthropologist and archaeologist by training and a graduate of the acclaimed Iowa Writer’s Workshop. His debut fantasy novel, Gardens of the Moon, marked the opening chapter in the epic Malazan Book of the Fallen sequence, which has been hailed as one of the most significant works of fantasy of this millennium.
You can visit the Malazan website here and the Steven Erikson Wikipedia entry here.
BACK COVER SUMMARY:
The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations with ancient and implacable sorcerers. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for some respite. Yet Empress Laseen's rule remains absolute, enforced by her dread Claw assassins.For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his squad of Bridgeburners, and for Tattersail, their lone surviving mage, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the many dead. But Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities, yet holds out. It is to this ancient citadel that Laseen turns her predatory gaze.
However, the Empire is not alone in this great game. Sinister, shadowbound forces are gathering as the gods themselves prepare to play their hand . . .Conceived and written on a panoramic scale, Gardens of the Moon is epic fantasy of the highest order--an enthralling adventure by an outstanding voice.

I'm relatively new to fantasy but since my introduction was 'Wheel of Time', I'll choose that as the one I'd like to see in a movie theatre. And since that series was mammoth (and unfinished!) I'm not so scared to start a new one. 'Gardens of the Moon' sounds great.

Hi Doug!
ReplyDelete(hope this doesn't show up twice, but I think blogger ate my comment)
Since I recently review Vicki Pettersson's City of Souls and it's still so fresh in my mind, I would have to pick the Sign of the Zodiac Series. I just can't think of a series that would better translate to the big screen or TV. It would be an action packed fantasy adventure. It might also be neat to see it sort of like they did Sin City..sort of live action anime. I'm sure you know that Scent of Shadows is the first in the series. I think this would be too cool.
I'm already a follower.
And of course, I already have this contest posted on my blog @ http://myblog2point0.blogspot.com/.
Thanks Doug!
Dottie :)
I sure wanna win, haven't read him :D
ReplyDeleteMovies, oh I am so afraid they would suck. But I would love Robert Jordans Wot or Magician by Feist

There's way too many great fantasy series to pick from. My favorite is Sharing Knife series by Lois McMaster Bujold. Not so sure if it would make a great movie, but I'd love that series in any form.
ReplyDeletechayanna82(at)hotmail(dot)com
Hmmm, fantasy movie I'd like to see turned into a movie. If done right and not turned into the normal hollywoodized crap I wouldn't mind seeing "American Gods" on the big screen.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a follower.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway.

It's gotta be Harry Potter - those stories would be.... err... what? It's already been done. Okay...
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, as a pure fanboy treat it would be The Painted Man. I know it's been optioned, but I can still put it here. It would rock something awesome :)
I think Abercrombie's "The First Law" trilogy would be a great movie.
ReplyDeleteThanks for organizing this giveaway: rpgdnd (at) gmail (dot) com.

I gotta say gaby317 beat me with saying the Codex Alera with Furies of Calderon as the first. I just finished Princeps Fury, and every book just keeps dragging me in further and further. Love the series.
ReplyDeleteA book I'd love to see made into a movie is WARBREAKER by Sanderson.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the Dark Jewels trilogy (Anne Bishop) turned into movies. That would be something absolutely new.

If it were done well, I think I'd like to see a movie version of Naomi Novik's His Majesty's Dragon.
ReplyDeleteDoug,
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the Mercy Thompson series by Patrica Briggs on the big screen (or the small). :)

I'd like to see Stephen King's The Dark Tower series as a movie. If that doesn't count, then I'll choose Guy Gavriel Kay's The Fionavar Tapestry. Following now.
ReplyDeleteVote number three for The Furies of Caulderon - LOVE this series, can't wait for the final novel! However, I think the first Kushiel's Legecy trilogy would be a very original movie experience.

Oh my gosh - one of the best ever would have to be William Hope Hodgson's HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND!!!
And if no one has ever read this one, you are truly missing one of the all time greats!!! Imagine lurking swine that walk on two legs, it is such a visual tale :)
I'd love to see the Mediator Series by Meg Cabot turned into a movie.

OK Hollywood are you paying attention? So far a great list of original properties that would make terrific movies. No rehashes, redoes or reboots. Some studio or director please step up to the plate!
