"Standing on the command bridge between [van Rijn] and Hirharouk, Coya stared at the meters and displays filling an entire bulkhead..." (p. 355)
Imagine what that scene would look like on screen:
Coya tall and slender;
van Rijn taller, broad and corpulent;
Captain Hirharouk 150 centimeters tall, standing on his wings, covered in feathers but with a mouth, not a beak;
in front of them, screens covering an entire inner wall of the Ythrian spaceship.
Hirharouk should speak Planha when he issues orders.
The Technic History should be filmed and should be filmed well, to surpass Star Trek, Babylon 5 etc. Every single visual and auditory detail matters and should be rendered accurately.

Kaor, Paul!
Alas, as matters are now, I don't ever expect to ever see well done filmed versions of the Nicholas van Rijn/Dominic Flandry stories.
Unless some billionaire who reads SF takes an interest in sponsoring such projects!
I also detest how Peter Jackson mangled and mauled the great work of Tolkien!

I would like a -good- version adapted for visual. Alas, not likely.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
It seems all we can do is daydream of such good filmed versions.
Ad astra! Sean
