Mr Darcy and the Space-time Continuum

by Noe (Illustrator)

Readers of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” thought what caused Mr. Darcy’s change in character was his being told off by Elizabeth Bennet during his first proposal at Hunsford. This has been held out as the reason for the alteration from the proud selfish man Darcy was into the humble modest person Elizabeth could grow to love. It was not until the 21st century that the truth could be told! Read what has only recently come to light about that fateful day, April 9, 1813, that had such a transforming influence on our favorite hero in this account of “Mr. Darcy and the Space-time Continuum” - a humorous combination of science fiction and Regency romance! Bonus: two of Noe’s 100 word stories are included at the end of the book.

This was a short story about Mr Darcy.
Every Pride and Prejudice Fan knows that moment when Darcy made his first proposal to Lizzy. She listed his worst sides and dumped him.
Darcy got hurt in his pride and while he realized what she said to him, he saw a really heavy light. And he found himself at a Space-Ship - 500 years in the future.

At the beginning I thought:
another book who turns Darcy as a stubborn and too proud man without much sensibility. But I understood that he, Fitzwilliam Darcy, of the Darcys of Pemberley, was just confused about what happened.

I really like the way everything turns out. And the end isn't really unexpected but really nice.

I love Pride and Prejudice and I think this is a lovely story between two scenes. Nothing what couldn't happen because he may knocked himself out after Lizzy throw his proposal away. The book is a fast telling story with much love inside.
It totally has something of a Star Trek universe and that's really amazing. Never imagined Darcy in a Star-Ship. I really like the fact that the Science Fiction became part of the most wonderful lovestory ever. It's nothing that I didn't read before but the combination made it to something unique and I guess I'll read "Mr Darcy fell in love".

And I like the illustrations inside.
I know the authors from Instagram and I know they're really into the story.

A fun read!

Short, sweet, and imaginative! I really enjoyed this quick read! A refreshing change of pace for our beloved Darcy and Elizabeth. I'll be looking for other stories from these authors.

This was a very cute short story, one that would be great if it was made into a full book.
