The Dark Star Prince stole me away... and now we're both in danger Five alien princes took five Earth girls from a space cruise ship. I'm one of them. And what happened next blew my mind. Prince Themis is stern, fierce, and super demanding. I don't know where he's taking me. But I do know one thing... I won't come quietly. I've never been the kind of girl who lets a guy tell her what to do. Even if he does have the face of a movie star and the body of a Greek god. But before I can fight back, trouble hits Prince Themis's ship like a meteor. Even Dark Star royalty didn't see that coming. Will I ever get home to Earth? DARK STAR PRINCES is a five-book sci-fi alien romance series. Each novel contains a complete romance story and there's a continuing storyline over the series that will resolve in book five. Reading order: 1. STRAVON 2. THEMIS 3. RADEK 4. KODAL 5. ZERIN

The revolutionary classical scholar Jane Ellen Harrison pieces together the origins of early Greek religion in this seminal 1927 work.

J.L. Burch·V. Angelopoulos Originally published in the journal Space Science Reviews, Volume 141, Nos 1–4, 1–3. DOI: 10.1007/s11214-008-9474-5 © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2008 The Earth, like all the other planets, is continuously bombarded by the solar wind, which is variable on many time scales owing to its connection to the activity of the Sun. But the Earth is unique among planets because its atmosphere, magnetic eld, and rotation rates are each signi cant, though not dominant, players in the formation of its magnetosphere and its reaction to solar-wind inputs. An intriguing fact is that no matter what the time scale of solar-wind variations, the Earth’s response has a de nite pattern lasting a few hours. Known as a magnetospheric substorm, the response involves a build-up, a crash, and a recovery. The build-up (known as the growth phase) occurs because of an interlinking of the geom- netic eld and the solar-wind magnetic eld known as magnetic reconnection, which leads to storage of increasing amounts of magnetic energy and stress in the tail of the mag- tosphere and lasts about a half hour. The crash (known as the expansion phase) occurs when the increased magnetic energy and stresses are impulsively relieved, the current system that supports the stretched out magnetic tail is diverted into the ionosphere, and bright, dynamic displays of the aurora appear in the upper atmosphere. The expansion and subsequent rec- ery phases result from a second magnetic reconnection event that decouples the solar-wind and geomagnetic elds.

Karma-Nemesis is no more than the spiritual effect of causes produced and forces awakened into activity by our own actions. It is a law of occult dynamics that “a given amount of energy expended on the spiritual or astral plane is productive of far greater results than the same amount expended on the physical objective plane of existence.” This Law — whether Conscious or Unconscious — predestines nothing and no one. It exists from and in Eternity, truly, for it is Eternity itself; and as such, since no act can be co-equal with eternity, it cannot be said to act, for it is Action itself. Intimately, or rather indissolubly, connected with Karma, is the law of rebirth, or of the reincarnation of the same spiritual individuality in a long, almost interminable, series of personalities. With the early Greeks, Nemesis was no goddess, but a morel feeling rather, the barrier to evil and immorality. He who transgresses it commits a sacrilege in the eyes of the gods, and is pursued by Nemesis. But, with time, that “feeling” was deified, and its personification became an ever-fatal and punishing goddess. Therefore, if we would connect Karma with Nemesis, it has to be done in the triple character of the latter, viz., as Nemesis, Adrasteia, and Themis. For, while the latter is the goddess of Universal Order and Harmony, who, like Nemesis, is commissioned to repress every excess, and keep man within the limits of Nature and righteousness under severe penalty, Adrasteia — “the inevitable” — represents Nemesis as the immutable effect of causes created by man himself. Nemesis, as the daughter of Dike, is the equitable goddess reserving her wrath for those alone who are maddened with pride, egoism, and impiety. Life would become unbearable, if one had to believe in a god created by man’s unclean fancy, when the will of man masquerades as the Will of God.

Themis finds her self unfazed by the wonders of modern life in the city of Bijoux Blues and one daring day she decides to wander off into the forest of Nebula Stars. Giddy with excitement and wonder Themis enters a whole new world where she encounters different creatures in need of some light. Fearlessly Themis wanders on determined to restore law and order, go on the journey with Themis Aella and try to find out about the lessons learnt
