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 there is something to the UFO/alien thing. Too many credible witnesses have seen UFOs and been affected by them, too many anomalous radar contacts in the skies, physical evidence left behind etc... that it can all be written off as nonsense. But this is the first book I've ever read that gives a credible explanation as to what these mysterious "aliens" have been doing with mankind for so long. The book was well written and fascinating and absorbing, a real page turner. I couldn't put it down until the final page. The ending wrapped things up nicely and gave a mind blowing (and believable) answer to the Biblical mystery of why an all powerful God would allow the devil and his demons such carte blanche with humans for thousands of years. I walked away awed at a presentation of the love of God in a way no Christian writer has ever done before. I highly recommend it to everyone.

I received the book in the mail on a Thursday. I read the back cover right away and I knew immediately that I wouldn't be getting anything done the following weekend. My belief became a reality; I couldn't put the book down. I read it until I fell asleep early Sunday morning and finished it sometime Sunday afternoon. I'm usually not one for fiction, but when it's based on a person's interpretation of future prophetic events I relent to my cautions and just go for it. I did the same thing with the Left Behind series of books. Read all of them in a month's time.

What I really liked about the book is that it portrayed the aliens as extraterrestrials, but it also hints at the idea that these aliens might be the angels that rebelled. The aliens explain that they have been the ones who were worshipped as gods all through history; which is a truth that isn't spoken too much. The fact that the book equates the aliens with fallen angels really blessed me because it is a belief that I hold to.

There was one issue I had with the book. First, near the beginning of the book, when Jeff was in a living a hell in his house, he enters what is described as an entertainment room, described like the holo-deck on the Star Trek episodes. He finds himself in a market and at the check-out stand he's asked for his right hand or forehead. When I wrote to the author about this I asked him if he thought that people who take the mark during the Tribulation period will be able to be saved. The Bible says that is not possible. The author explained to me that in that scenario, the people were being conditioned for the mark that would be coming soon. The author also remarked that he was astonished that I picked that up, saying that nobody else ever wrote him about that. I also have to remind myself when I'm reading fiction, that it is fiction, not fact. But I have to say that the book is pretty well a good description of the deception that I feel will occur during that future period.

MY RECOMMENDATION: I make The Unveiling as a should read to all who read this.

For those who are not familiar with future prophesy, The Unveiling is a very suspenseful account of rapidly unfolding events that keeps one turning the pages. I believe that a sci-fi format is an excellent way to portray many of the mysterious Biblical events and way to project the Word to those who might not otherwise grasp it. This is whole new genre in writing; Christian Science Fiction. Excellent piece of work.
