The plot continues to weave the fictionalized main characters and supporting cast in a web of crime, torture, murder, and mayhem with both existential and paranormal features. Lifting the Veil presents themes that are worthy of thought and consideration by multiple members of the at-present civilization, including climate change, overpopulation, pollution, extinction, and enslavement.The connecting element of the interdimensional series is a professor, Bradford Wainwright, who, as a character, not only reads and analyzes the manuscript but also is caught in a web of personal and professional analysis. Once Wainwright finishes reading and reviewing Lifting the Veil, he calls Virgil, his literary agent. While they are speaking, the third manuscript arrives and is entitled Aila's Mission.
