Author Residence: Gulfport, Mississippi FROM CHAPTER ONE:
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single, space-faring man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. Whatever the intentions of such a man may actually be upon entering the atmosphere, this truth is so fixed in the minds of the land-bound families that he is considered a guaranteed match for one of their daughters. The Bennets, being one such family, were returning from holiday on Nagalea, the sixth moon of Londinium, when news of this very kind reached them.
"Have you heard?" exclaimed Mrs. Bennet as they boarded the Flyleaf Starship. "Netherfield Landing is finally claimed."
Mr. Bennet replied that he hadn't.
"Well, it is," she continued. "I've had a waive from Mrs. Long, and she told me all about it."
Mr. Bennet beckoned his daughters to keep up rather than answer.
"Are you not interested in who leased it?" Mrs. Bennet's impatient voice echoed off the metal walls of the Fly
