Thank you this and all future pings. Just thinking I should re-read your trilogy.
Hub and I stayed up late talking and we both agreed the scenario in your trilogy or something like it is probably going to be unfolding in the near future.
I would now guess with 95% certainty that the S will HTF in the next 4 years. There is our window to move to (relative) safety.
No matter what, move away from herds. Especially lemmings and Rats.
