Ben Rob covets a future of genuine equality, fully understanding the provisos needed to realize that halcyon vision: he must submerge himself in the murk of elitist politics with one tactic... to so elevate the elite, and to so beset the masses, that revolution-and its carnage-is all but inevitable. Ben Rob must decide if the ends can ever justify the means, no matter how lofty the ends, by the means of: 'give 'em enough rope and they'll hang themselves.' Ben Rob engineers his transfer from State University to The Rafford, the university exclusively of and for the elite, and throws himself into the laden politics of Allman's burgeoning class warfare, fully aware his own greed will hurl them all into cataclysm. Rob crusades not simply to render retribution but to compel hallowed justice for Panther King, quarry to Allman's unfurling class warfare. Amid the rapacious artifice of all that is Allman's, Rob vaults into Lainy's blazing populist fervor-if he can will himself to plunge them all into prowling carnage under the guise of 'for the greater good.' ar grey has also published The Silent, The Hand Of God, and stories published in Etchings and SNReview.
