Here are six action heroes ripe for movie treatments (with casting suggestions from yours truly) from engrossing action-thriller book series, who have been low-hanging fruit for the film-making industry for years now, but who, for some reason haven’t been turned into movies yet. So this is more of a book-series review of, as one of Ebenezer Scrooge’s spirits of Christmas might say, Books for movies that have not yet been, but shall be.
I’m talking about riveting page-turners. I’m talking about, you need to be careful when picking up one of these books before bedtime, because when you put it down it‘ll be 4:00 a.m. and you’ll be a zombie at work all the next day. Trust me, I know. And I’m talking about—not just one or two out the 11, or 23-book series is good, and the rest are so-so, but all of them are can’t-put-it-down excellent. This is around 60 books we’re talking about, all of which are riveting, every one of which I’ve read. That’s about five years worth of New York subway-reading.
