  11. I did just that, and it is absolutely awesome. Looks more like a movie trailer than a book trailer, and the music is fab.

    You have a winner on your hands for sure, Alex.

  21. It's rockin' hooooot :))))
    I love the atmospheric music in the trailer, although when the doors of the hangar started to slide open I was expecting for you to jump in wearing a space suit :)))

    I've put it immediately over at HOLLYWOOD SPY's official YouTube channel:

  22. I'm excited - and it's YOUR book! Very nice, indeed.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I completely agree. It is really awesome. The music reminds me of Joe Satriani's riffs. And the story sounds really interesting. Can't wait!

    ReplyDelete
  24. OMG! That is literally the best book trailer I have ever seen. I watched it twice!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Wow! That completely rocks!!! So very, very cool. I love the music and the graphics pull you in - and work with the music! Congrats :)

  26. Palin, it's not pretty, but I'm dancing!

    Thanks, Dezz - I appreciate that!

    Eric, I'm very happy with their music choice.

    Holly, really? That's great!

    Thanks for watching it, everyone!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Utterly cool! I haven't seen many book trailers before but this is the best I've seen so far. I'm looking forward to the book release. I predict success on the horizon. Today book trailer, tomorrow movie trailer, in the future wealthy Alex J Cavanaugh hobnobbing with the rich and famous with a string of best sellers under his belt. Way to go, Alex!

  37. WOW! That is so fantastic Alex! I'm so excited for your book, and this just amplified it. Do I sense a video game coming from it? Ehhhhhh?? Keep up all the awesome work Alex, you're a true inspiration!

    ah, those spies always get everything first :))) What can I say, I have secret connections in Cassastarian government.

    Alex, are you following comments over at YouTube as well and how many times the trailer has been watched so far?

    ReplyDelete
  64. Hey Dezz! Just checked it out - hope that number doubles daily.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Congratulations Alex, that is awesome! Where did you get that done? Whoever did it, did a truly professional job.

    Well, I'll pick that up for my son in October. It's exactly the kind of book he loves most. (I enjoy scifi too, but sometimes I think nobody loves the genre more than my son.)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Beautiful colors, just like your book cover! Tweeted your trailer's address...congrats!

    ReplyDelete
  67. WOOHOOO!!! That IS an awesome trailer! The music worked with the graphics perfectly.

    Happy Weekend!

  75. Awesome trailer, Alex! The music is reminiscent of the tv show "Firefly", but without the lyrics. That's a good thing. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  76. Thanks, Monti!

    And I love FIrefly, so that's a great compliment, Mary!

  80. Alex,
    This is a grand and awe-inspiring book trailer. This is Space Adventure and outer-space epicness the way I'm "KNOWING" your book will put forward.
    I'm happy for the 80 some comments. Now if we all buy a copy of the book and buy one to give to someone (Christmas presenst you know), and, etc. etc. hopefully Cadsastar will sell like hotcakes.

  81. Rogue, I second that idea! Only three months away now.

    ReplyDelete
  82. LOVE the graphics. Did you make that yourself or was there a high-budget Hollywood producer behind the scenes?

    ReplyDelete
  83. Congrats, Alex!

    I'm showing my age, I guess, because when you said "trailer" I thought "wow-amovie deal already?"

    I did not know they did such things for books.

    You must be antsy to see the final product by now!

  84. That is excellent, Alex. The graphics are outstanding. If you'll remind me, (even though I'm making a note on my calendar), I think it would be cool to post the trailer on my blog on Oct. 13th, the day before your guest post.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Robin, thank you! My publisher created it.

    Disc, I didn't know they did book trailers either.

    Patricia, that would be awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  86. FINALLY got a chance to watch this.
    Now i'm SUPER DUPER excited!
