Michael Cordy’s forthcoming adventure thriller novel, The Source—which was pitched as a modern quest novel in the style of Jules Verne or H. Rider Haggard—has been optioned to Ollie Madden at Warner Bros. with screenwriter/producer Akiva Goldman’s Weed Road attached to produce. Agent on the deal was Nick Harris at Rabineau Wachter Sanford & Harris, on behalf of Patrick Walsh at Conville & Walsh.
The book itself hasn’t sold in the US yet, but it has sold to Bill Scott-Kerr at Bantam UK; Editions Cherche-Midi in France; Heyne in Germany; Edizioni Nord in Italy; Planeta in Spain; Quixote in Portugal; Opus in Israel; and Amber in Poland.
According to his publisher, HarperCollins, “Michael Cordy, a former marketing executive in Great Britain, left the rat race to pursue his dream of novel writing. He is the author of the international bestseller, The Miracle Strain, and lives outside London with his wife, Jenny.”
