Warner Bros. Pictures has bought the film rights to David Klass' young-adult novel Firestorm, the first in the planned Caretaker Trilogy. Variety says the studio has set it up with Basil Iwanyk's Thunder Road to produce.

Warners has the right to option the two additional books in the sci-fi, action-adventure series.

Firestorm revolves around a seemingly normal high school senior who finds himself at the center of an epic battle that's being fought both now and a thousand years in the future. The fate of Earth hangs in the balance.

Series has an underlying environmental theme, with "Firestorm," published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, becoming the first novel to be endorsed by Greenpeace. The second installment, "Whirlwind," will focus on rainforests, while "Timelock" will address global warming.

Klass has also written more than 30 screenplays, including Kiss the Girls and the Walking Tall remake.

That's ironic. I think I'm going to have a heart attack, and die - from that irony.
