poet, have you read the "Left Behind" series? This sounds very much like it, only the LB series ends on a happier note (I hope ... Book 10 is due to be released this summer! I can hardly wait!)

Really an exciting read!

Yes I have. Also a very good read, but, the letter writer's reference to the "mark" (read bar code) and inability to engage in commerce without the mark is directly from Revelation is more telling of the future IMO. However, I disagree with the suicide aspect of the story. It would seem that with all their time in the mountains that they would have developed weapons to defend themselves, thus, "going home" with honor. Suicide is not honorable.
