Summertide, by Charles Sheffield. There isn't a lot of deep argument to screw up, but the visuals are impressive (2 planets orbiting closely each other in the road to a catastrophic quake/tsunami, alien artifacts from millions of years ago, really weird alien races). That should be the ultimate criteria, is hard to translate right a deep argument to TV (and sometimes the translation includes "sponsored message" from government and groups of power that damages the book message), but books with good visuals may be perfect for that media (and if are not great, run low risk of corruption) Would hate that great books like Hyperion end having the same fate as All you zombies or Mimsy were the borogoves.
