Foreword 

  "The Unveiling" is an apocalyptic thriller and hard rock musical about the Tribulaton Period, the last seven years of man's existence. We watch the events unfold through the eyes of 21 year old hard rock musician Joshua Wells. On the verge of landing a lucrative record deal, his life would take a dramatic turn and change forever. Joshua is transformed into the superhero "Holy Soldier" with superhuman powers and battles evil as time runs out on a corrupt and wicked world. "The Unveiling" is written in the same style as modern day superhero movies. There are multiple superheroes with supernatural powers, colorful and murderous villains, and it's the ultimate battle between good and evil. Supernatural events are the order of the day, high tech gadgetry abounds and there's a love story for the ages. "The Unveiling" is the perfect marriage between the ever popular superhero genre and music, the most powerful and influential media of all. What separates "The Unveiling" from other superhero sagas is that music is one of the main characters. The story is told through a series of videotaped and live theater segments and music. Due to the length of the production, "The Unveiling" is divided into parts 1 and 2. Part 1 is simply entitled "The Unveiling" and covers the first years of the Tribulation Period. Part 2 is entitled “The Unveiling Part II : The Final Apostles" and covers the final 3½ years of the Tribulation Period. You'll be reading part 1 of "The Unveiling." The musical is an interactive production and throughout the presentation the audience is involved in the action. In effect, the audience and the auditorium "The Unveiling" is being performed at are extensions of the live stage. As you will see when you read "The Unveiling," the live stage has a massive video screen that spans the entire width of the live stage. This large video screen is used throughout the production to show videotaped action and some of the sets used in the musical. There are also two additional large video screens with one to the left of the live stage and one to the right. These screens will allow additional video footage to be played when there is already video footage playing on the large screen onstage or when the large screen is being used to show one of the sets and additional video needs to be played at the same time. There is a large digital clock located atop the live stage which shows the audience the date and time. As mentioned above, part 1 of "The Unveiling" covers the first years of the seven year Tribulation Period and the digital clock will keep track of that time as the action proceeds in the production. As you read "The Unveiling," you'll see models throughout the text that are sets or video that will be seen in the production. I can't stress strongly enough that they aren't professional graphics and their sole purpose is to aid you in following the action in "The Unveiling." There are also video presentations in "The Unveiling" that show some of the action that takes place in the production. It's critical that you read all the text and view the accompanying models to get a complete and accurate picture of all the action that takes place. The goal of "The Unveiling" from an entertainment standpoint is to be nothing less than the greatest concert experience ever created."
