Product Description: Millions of people from all over the earth instantly vanish off the face of the planet and not even the world's best scientists can explain why. Then suddenly the leaders of the world, via a special worldwide television broadcast, introduce the citizens of all nations to a powerful race of beings known as the Balazons.
Valerie Saunderson, and her children Nick and Stephanie, watch the special telecast from their home but struggle with uncertainty about whether or not to trust the aliens, as the Balazons admit responsibility for the disappearance of the millions of people as well as earlier attacks on her husband, Jeff.
Jeff Saunderson, local pharmacist in the small town of Star City, had been assaulted at work by one of his best customers, and later Jeff had almost been killed by mysterious men in black suits before being rescued by an equally mysterious woman named Monica.
Shocking words of revelation from Khur-ak, the alien leader, threaten to destabilize the world, as the aliens claim to have been invisibly influencing human development for millions of years and are the "gods" that humans have always worshipped. They bring a message of universal peace and prosperity, and communicate a desire to continue to aid mankind's forward evolution, but now openly and with full knowledge.
The Balazons admit to making mistakes but claim that they acted with pure motives. They claim they will prove their sincerity if only the inhabitants of the earth will give them a second chance.
Jeff and his family face the same difficult choice all humanity must face: fear and reject the Balazons because of what they did, or forgive and accept them with open arms. Jeff refuses to embrace the Balazons after what they did to him. He cannot shake the feeling that something more sinister is afoot and starts a determined search for confirmation that his instincts are correct. Will, or even should, the world trust the Balazons?
They've been watching us for millennia...now it's our turn to see them!

Chapter One of this fictional account of open human contact with aliens begins with a worldwide television broadcast that introduces all viewers to an alien race called the "Balazons". In relation to TV, we've all heard the expression "glued to the tube" and know what it means. Well, I was "glued to the book" from the opening page on.
Although this book is fiction, I read it with fascination, as if it were all happening right now in real life. To me, it was very believable, as I think ... Read More
Rating: - The Unveiling Revealed
An extraordinary evaluation of deceit. UFOs and the ultimate deception of humanity...spell binding to the end. I would not put it down until I had finished the read!
Rating: - Very Good
This book blew me away. It was very good. A real page turner! Could not put it down. Some won't take it seriously for several reasons. The front cover may be offensive or too weird for some readers (An Alien on a Cross in space). Many are turned off by reading about Aliens. I found the End-Time theme involving Aliens to be very refreshing, realistic, and interesting involving the link to the New Age Religion & Eastern Thought.
One critique I have with the Novelette is that the ... Read More
Rating: - The Unveiling by Bowker
Beginning with a television telecast announcing the arrival of an alien race called the Balazons, "The Unveiling" draws the reader into a fascinating world of deception, conspiracy and struggle for power. Dennis Gilmour spins a wonderful tale dealing with the life of Jeff Saunderson, a quiet pharmacist working at a drugstore who is forced into a seemingly impossible situation where his personal belief and convictions are the only source of help and support.
