I really don't know about this one. I love the books, and with their success they've genome a bit more compatible with a screen adaptation, but a lot of it, and especially the first one, is a lot of internal monologue. In addition, the space physics and combat are amazing, but don't translate into visuals easily either. Like I said, love the story, and pains me to say it. Some stories are just not made for the screen, and I think this is one.
Angry ghosts
Elvis Cole and Joe Pike series. Surprised it hasn't been done yet.
Biggles!
Ender's Game as season 1, and then Speaker For the Dead as seasons 2-3 (with a reworked ending rather than drawing from Xenocide).
The Commonwealth Saga (Pandora’s Star and Judas Unchained) by Peter F. Hamilton would make a great serialized TV drama.
GONE, really enjoyed that as a kid and when they then started making hunger game movies and everyone seemed to be following the formula I think it would've worked a treat around that time. It's not that similar to those however it's more supernatural mystery lord of the flies, but it would've felt like it belonged alongside the lines of hunger games and maze runner.
On another note the Jack Tanner books, especially Odin Mission would make great films or short series per book. Really enjoyed the pseudo retelling of world war 2 with bits of fiction mixed in.
The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zealazny is ripe for CGI heavy HBO treatment. I think it would be very well received at this day and age.
The Malazan Book of the Fallen, by Steven Erikson.
Dungeon Crawler Carl.
Calculus....early transcendentals.
I think Neuromancer would work well as a heavily stylized animation.
