Having betrayed his family to the evil Emperor, Dark Zader must find a way to rescue his family of rebel scum from the largest and most secure prison in the galaxy, the Detention Star. Dark Zader is trying to lead a double life, secretly keeping to the light side of the fizz while working for his former master, the vile Emperor Eugene and his Cosmic Empire. Meanwhile John Solar, Nuke Landhopper, Princess Neia, and the rest of the gang deal with the brutal realities of prison life, such as their impending execution, gangs, and toilets without privacy.

In a galaxy ravaged by tyranny, planets are destroyed at the push of a button, and empires are brought down by farm boys and scoundrels. Dark Zader was one of the most powerful men in the galaxy, but when he threw his emperor down a shaft, he found himself without a job. Living with his kids and down on his luck, he finds that he only has one solution: beg for his old job back from the very emperor he thought he'd killed.

What would the story of Snow White be like if the princess was an idiot, the evil queen was completely incompetent, and the dwarves, instead of being happy and silly, were instead super gross and mean? The answer: "Lily White and the Horrible Dwarves", a comedy short story that is so awesome you'll have to listen to it to believe it.

Shaw, widely known and read Catholic writer, speaker, and former communications director for the US Bishops, discusses the abuse of secrecy in the Church, the scandals it has caused, and the serious problem of mistrust that exists in the credibility of the Church. Not concerned with the legitimate secrecy that is necessary to protect confidentiality and peoples reputations, Shaw is rather concerned here with the stifling, deadening misuse of secrecy that has done immense harm to communion and community in the Church.

This book examines how thirteen extraordinary men and women from apostolic times to the present—most of them canonized saints—came to see how God wanted them to organize their lives and, seeing that, set out to shape their lives accordingly. It adopts a new and illuminating approach to a familiar literary genre—the lives of the saints and what the turning points were in their dedicating themselves to God.
