The Veil: Seen and Not Seen #3
The Veil
This is an alternate cover edition for B0141GRE70
We are not alone in the Universe—the age of innocence is over, and the time of the Veil upon us.
Industrialization, war, technological advancement. It is a common transitional period. A civilization that destroys itself during the process is not a threat to those who observe from afar.
And in this regard the Veil is many things, its purpose to deliver mankind from temptation, its goal to aide a swift conclusion.
This is the third book in the Seen And Not Seen trilogy, part of the Veil series, a collection of interconnected stories looking at what it means to be human, the folly of Man, and how the two might be related.
You can start the Veil series either with Seen And Not Seen, or with the first book in the Real And Not Real trilogy, Any Now.

Seemed disjointed
I did not know, when I started reading this book, that it was the third book in a series of three. From start to finish, much seemed disjointed. I will admit that may well be due to not having read the previous two books. I don't think it is entirely my own comprehension on this score, because throughout the narrative, things didn't seem to connect within context of the story.
The whole fad of writing multiple books in a series is a pet peeve. It is okay if each volume can be read and understood as a 'stand alone' story in its own right. When that is not the case, it becomes bizarre and bewildering if you didn't know or read previous volumes.
This is precisely why I avoid books that are part of a series. If I know it is a series, I don't buy them.

This book,like the others,keeps you going and then surprises you! I am going to buy more books in the series and will let you know if I am still impressed.
