Book 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!
About the Author
Dennis Gilmour was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan. He graduated from the University of Alberta in 1991 with a B.Sc. in Pharmacy. He completed his first novel, "The Unveiling", in 1993 but after unsuccessful attempts at getting it published, set it aside for several years and pursued other career interests. While working as a pharmacist with Shoppers Drug Mart, Dennis attended a computer training school. He graduated from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in 1998 with a degree in computer programming. For the next three years, he worked as a programmer analyst at a high tech company called Zadall, which produced software solutions for the pharmacy sector. Along with hospitals, Zadall's customers included many big retail pharmacy chains such as Krogers and Eckerds in the United States, and Shoppers Drug Mart and The Real Canadian Superstore in Canada.
In the summer of 2001, Dennis moved to the world class ski resort of Whistler, British Columbia to resume a renewed interest in retail pharmacy, and to partake of the pleasures of winter sports fun in the premiere ski paradise of North America. He is fascinated with both science and the supernatural and infuses all of his writing with exploration of the ancient mysteries of life: Who are we? Where did we come from? What is the meaning of life? "The Unveiling" is one fictional account of the answers to these very questions. He enjoys reading in his spare time and working on writing the next sci-fi bestseller.
