Resumen del Editor

What could possibly be in Longbourn Crater that was worth their while?When damage to his ship forces Captain Darcy to land in an unexpected location on an alien world, he's not prepared for what he finds. He expected aliens, certainly, but he didn't expect a contingent of humans related to Earth's most notorious traitor, or for those humans to be his crew’s only chance to repair their ship and complete their mission. Brilliant and beautiful, the human women they meet seem poised to do more harm than good.

Elizabeth Bennet may have been raised on an alien world, but she knows enough about human men to recognize a snub when confronted with one. She definitely has no time for supercilious captains who view her father as a traitor to humankind, but she’s more than happy to apply her considerable skills to repairing the Earth humans’ ship. The sooner they’re off her planet, the better.

Pride & Prejudice and Planets is an alternate-reality science fiction variation on Jane Austen’s classic Pride & Prejudice. Discover how Captain Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet, and all their usual companions negotiate alien races, dangerous space travel, and each other.

Really great and passionately narrated

The book itself is super creative and fun, but the narrator’s performance takes it up a level. You can really feel how excited he is to read this!

Original & fun

Becoming one of my favorite variations. The world building is very well done while everyone still remains in character. Love the new recording.

Fun!

I hope this becomes a series with many more adventures in space and on other planets. :)

A great listen

I’ve read this novel a few times. It's that good. But Benjamin Fife’s range of character voices brings this great sci-fi take on Pride and Prejudice to life.

JAFF and SciFi - what’s not to love?

A great story and a great narration. Recommended listen. 20 + hours somehow isn’t long enough.

Love the mixture of pride and space

I wasn’t sure I’d like this book as it got started but it just kept getting better. I love that the Bennett women are so accomplished including Lydia.

Really enjoyed the read and modernization

Benjamin Fife is the best narrator for this book

Benjamin Fife was the perfect narrator for this story because he has an incredible voice range and a natural talent to bring the characters personality into the voices he creates. As this book has multiple characters from many different species, his unique narration elevated the readers experience. Benjamin Fife is definitely one of the best narrators out there and he surprised me once more with his talent. I highly recommend the audiobook version of this book.

JAFF + SCIFI = INTERESTING TAKE

In the past few years I have become a JAFF Addict, interspersed with a non-fiction or two. I am especially drawn to Darcy & Elizabeth stories & love it when characters from Jane’s other works are threaded into & among stories featuring ODC. The people, situations & in the JAFF World, while fictitious, can still be relevant in our’s.

Fun and different JAFF with great narration

This was a very entertaining and engrossing novel. The amount of time and effort the authors used to create future Earth, Takatara, the Kent system and the different alien races is impressive. A truly immersive science fiction story. Then they seamlessly included the characters, places and situations from Pride and Prejudice in new and very imaginative ways. I always enjoy Benjamin Fife’s narrations and he seemed to really have fun with the story and characters. I just wanted to also note that on Renata McManns web page there is a fun picture gallery of all the characters in the book.

Terrific cast of characters and fascinating world

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I particularly loved the Bennett family. Great Darcy. Very good premise. I would like to visit this world again and spend more time with E and D - especially while they are still young and getting used to changing circumstances.
