The fantasy series "Songs of Fire and Ice" by George RR Martin has had its broadcast rights purchased by HBO. link
Quote:
The series will begin with the 1996 first book, "A Game of Thrones," and the intention is for each novel (they average 1,000 pages each) to fuel a season's worth of episodes. Martin has nearly finished the fifth installment, but won't complete the seven-book cycle until 2011.
