These Ardent Stars

<p><em>It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife-or perhaps a new starship. Mama was convinced of the latter but it was impossible to know the truth.</em></p><p> </p><p>When two rich young gentlemen arrive at Meryton Station in the Hertfordshire Quadrant they don't go unnoticed-especially when Mrs. Bennett vows to have one of her five daughters marry into their fortunes. </p><p> </p><p>But love like the distant stars is rarely uncomplicated and often surprising. </p><p> </p><p>It's only a matter of time until their own small worlds are turned upside down and they discover that first impressions can be the most misleading of all.</p><p><br><em><strong>These Ardent Stars</strong> is a clean science-fiction inspired Pride and Prejudice variation that has been re-imagined in the far future and is suitable for adventurous lovers of Jane Austen's romantic classic.</em></p>
