Bannerman Clarke
{{Unreferenced|date=March 2008}}

'''Bannerman Clarke''' is a [[fictional character]] created by [[David Wellington (author)|David Wellington]]. He originally appeared in ''[[Monster Nation (novel)|Monster Nation]]'' and later ''[[Frostbite (Wellington novel)|Frostbite]]''. He is a Captain in the [[Colorado Army National Guard]]. He is notable for having appeared in ''Frostbite'' though the two are apparently different fictional universes (he apparently died in ''Monster Nation''), and for the "Bannerman Lives" campaign by a group of Wellington fans.

== ''Monster Nation'' ==
''Monster Nation'' tells of the American military response to the early weeks of a [[zombie]] [[apocalypse]]. Clarke is called in to assess the emerging crisis. He is instrumental in bringing Nilla, the story's other main protagonist, face-to-face with the source of the zombie plague. In the process, he suffers a presumably mortal injury, impaled on the wreckage of a downed helicopter.

His death, however, is never made explicit; the chapter ends with a zombie closing in on the immobilized Clarke, who wonders if he will be able to dispatch the creature (a former friend) before dying himself. The openness of this ending is responsible for the "Bannerman Lives" campaign among some Wellington fans.

== ''Frostbite'' ==
In contrast to ''Monster Nation'', Clarke is only a minor character in ''Frostbite'', acting as a support character to the protagonist, his niece, Cheyenne. That this is a separate fictional universe is apparent, as the world in ''Frostbite'' has not suffered the zombie plague of the Monster trilogy.
