A space opera where a bad-girl heroine meets a bio-engineered hero. They go through risky adventures. Will they manage to survive? (In the best traditions of R. Heinlein)
In Clanton, Mississippi two men rape a 10-year-old girl. Bad enough under any circumstances, but in this case the men are white, the girl black. It's horrible, and the town, primarily white, reacts with proper respect for the facts. Until the girl's father takes justice into his own hands with a newly acquired assault rifle. That turns Clanton inside out, and for 10 days the city is a nightmare, caught in the glare of burning crosses and the crack of sniper fire. Through it all Jake Brigance, attorney for the defense, struggles to save his client's life -- and then his own! (Library Journal)

Taken together the chapters in this volume present a comprehensive view of how transformational syntax characterizes the elusive but often useful notions of subject and object, examining how subject and object properties are distributed among various functional projections, converging sometimes in particular languages.
