Elizabeth Bennet lives on a small moon in the Londinium lunar system with her parents and four sisters. While she dreams of piloting a starship rather than settling down with an eligible man, her world turns upside down when the handsome Mr. Bingley docks the Netherfield StarCruiser on the neighboring estate. The arrival thrusts the Bennet sisters into the bustling asteroid field of the system’s wider society, and Elizabeth’s aspirations are suddenly in flux. Drawn into the orbit of Mr. Bingley’s friend, the proud Fitzwilliam Darcy, Elizabeth is determined to dislike him despite his ten thousand aurum per year.
Can the Bennet sisters navigate the perils of love and space? Will Elizabeth avoid the collision course she’s on with the formidable Mr. Darcy? This tale of scifi romance for women explores timeless themes of love, pride, and prejudice, set against the backdrop of the infinite cosmos.Pride and Prejudice in Space features stunning, colorful chapter headers and an array of interior art. With over 60 full-color illustrations and designs, readers will be captivated by this new world—from maps and brochures to digital message logs and pages pulled from the Bennet sisters’ journals and sketchbooks.

      When the wealthy Mr. Bingley docks his starcruiser on Elizabeth Bennet's home moon of Heoros, she thinks he could be a perfect match for her unmarried sister Jane. Elizabeth is far less impressed by his companion, the aloof Mr. Darcy, but as she learns more about him, her opinion begins to change. Can the two of them overcome their bad first impressions? This remix of Jane Austen's classic transfers much of the original novel's text to an opulent spacefaring setting, a technique reminiscent of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith. Graphic designer Lampley adds lavish illustrations, handwritten notes, and lively chat logs between characters, highlighting perspectives unheard in the original. The visually pleasing result should appeal to Austen fans interested in collector's editions. Staunch sci-fi fans will have to embrace a stardust-sprinkled Regency society rather than expecting complex worldbuilding. However, the remix provides a more modern and satisfying take on Lydia Bennet's fate. VERDICT Lampley's (The Onyx Vial) adult debut is an eye-catching creation that will charm Austen lovers and fans of soft sci-fi romance.--Erin Niederberger

      Pride and Prejudice in Space is one of those rare books that is exactly what it says it is: Jane Austen's most well-known novel with a sf twist. Lampley has created a whole new world in the stars, full of planets, moons, and droids serving tea on a spaceship. The novel's main story is a shortened version of Pride and Prejudice with much of the same action and dialogue; it does, however, offer new perspectives from other members of the Bennett family. Although the premise seems rather light, the reader quickly learns that the Bennetts are out of society and desperate to make good matches. Taking on the themes of family, caste-based societies, and yes, pride and prejudice in an entirely new backdrop, this novel is perfect for people who love creative adaptations of classics, such as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2009), by Seth Grahame-Smith. The book also offers Lampley's interesting, complex graphics that include drawings of moons, ships, and the clothes the character wear.
