75% of the books are of an age that no longer exists.

and we actively try not to film movies involving China being the bad guys....and then the books get mediocre quickly.

Yeah, I guess you have a point. I stopped reading after "Bear and Dragon." I remember all the Rainbow 6 buzz. - MDH Jan 23, 13:34 13
- Yeah, if they filmed from Without Remorse through to Bear and Dragon, it'd be great - Will Hunting Jan 23, 13:35 12

    - Right, it wouldn't work becuase of that, but that's a great series of books. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 23, 13:40
  - Well "Without Remorse" is coming out. Speaking of money, I (guilty pleasure) love Sahara, but they wasted that franchise. - MDH Jan 23, 13:37 9
    - Apparently Cussler's about as much fun to work with as Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 23, 13:40 4
      - I've heard he's a pain too. Cue up: Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child for the Pendergast series. -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 13:42 2

        They could really get that series back with all of the new Pendergast novels. Instead they are making that awful Gideon series a movie. -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 13:43

    - I agree that Sahara got wasted. It was an excellent film. - Beryllium Jan 23, 13:38
