Their is no doubt that the Baroque Cycle could make an awesome HBO series.
But Woe-Be to the screenwriter who suggests that maybe they gloss over that first book with Daniel Waterhouse and Enoch Root discussing physicks at the pre-cursor to MIT and jump right into the much more interesting Jack and Liza stuff.
He'd get stabbed in the eye with a quill pen.
