Themis
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.

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.
