I have enjoyed the first two episodes of this story but now in Episode Three, we start to see the shape of things to come as the economy goes into wild gyrations.  Darrell and Mallory, our two transplants from San Francisco, are the "Survivalists By Circumstance", as they are gradually led to by their friends and neighbors to see the handwriting on the wall.  I really enjoyed the evolution of the Darrell and Mallory's children as well once they got out of "THE CITY" and began to see the appeal of a country life.This story is just beginning and I cannot wait for the next installment.  The author is a master at gradually building the tension to a boiling point, and by now as a reader I feel fully invested in these characters.SPOILERS:Assisted by their good friend Rick, Darrell and Mallory begin to prepare for what might happen and both are busy trying to get their parents lined up as well.  The sudden drop in the stock market, followed by another rise, is sickeningly familiar, and the way the author relates the expected downturn through Rick's connections makes me wish I had a friend and neighbor like him.
