A nice choice for a source book, but I disagree about Waters. Somehow the spirit of the novel is not suitable for his musical style, IMO. (And no war/childhood trauma!) 
Jethro Tull would do it better (or would have done; are they now starting to lose the touch...?). Think of 'Aqualung' or 'Baker Street Muse'. More 'street credibility'.  

It also would be nice to see how some adventurous suspense thriller could inspire a band to write an adventurous and thrilling album, and how would the plot fit to be told musically.

But make Linkin Park do the last 2, cause they (both books and band) totally stink.
