This Video is a fan made trailer of my ISU book, "The Dead and the Gone."

I chose this fan made trailer for several reasons. I felt that this trailer covered the more important topics in the book. Topics such as an asteroid hitting the moon causing catastrophes on earth, the life of the main character Alex and his two younger sisters fighting to survive, and the issue of them being alone in these dark and chaotic times because their parents have gone missing. These are key elements in the book that help shape the main character, Alex, as he is trying to protect and survive these catastrophic events. The trailer captures the dark and apocalyptic scene the book portrays. Even though the trailer is an amateur production of scenes put together from Discovery channel and "2012" the movie, the theme of adaptation and survival is very evident. The video is a great exemplar of the novel.
