Prince of Sunset

Afterwards, Basil Castellan was always certain that it had all begun the day he'd been rescued by the dragon. Oh, it hadn't been a real dragon, of course. Or so he hastily assured everyone to whom he told the story. Only ... it had been a real dragon. But he would never share that particular knowledge with anyone but Sonja and Torval....The Empire had preserved peace and order throughout human-inhabited space, but it had grown weak with the passing of the centuries, and now the self-styled New Humans were rising in open rebellion, striving to seize control and impose their fanatical grand design on all humans everywhere. Basil, Sonja and Torval had only recently graduated from the Imperial Deep Space Fleet Academy, and the three comrades had no inkling of the crucial role they would play as the rising storm of war engulfed the galaxy -- nor of the importance of the Luon, the dragon-like beings from Basil's homeworld, who were older, wiser, and more powerful than humans could imagine.

[Read by Nicol Zanzarella] When she retired at age nineteen, Shannon Miller did so as the most decorated gymnast in US history. In 1992 she won five Olympic medals after breaking her elbow in a training accident just months prior to the Games. In 1996, a doctor advised her to retire immediately or face dire consequences. Undeterred, she endured the pain and led her team -- the ''Magnificent Seven'' -- to the first Olympic team gold medal for the United States in gymnastics. She followed up as the first American to win gold on the balance beam. Equally intense and heroic is the story of her brutal but successful battle with ovarian cancer. Her story reminds us all that it is life's bumps and bruises that reveal our character.
