Pride and Prejudice and Superheroes
A Mash-up Classics/Sci-Fi Novel by Jane Austen and T. J. P. Campbell
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a free mind, must be in want of a superhero.”
Pride and Prejudice and Superheroes is the first novel in T. J. P. Campbell’s popular sci-fi/English-classics mash-up Equalisers trilogy before the second, Skylar Holmes: The Last Hope, and the last, Starship Wuthering Heights.
In a parallel universe not so far, far away somewhere in the Multiverse this novel begins in rural England around the turn of the 19th century during the British Regency Period.
Unbeknown to humanity, it is a time of intergalactic jeopardy that threatens not only the fate of freedom in the parallel universe, but as a consequence of the Laws of Physics, the entire Multiverse.
Here we find Lizzy Bennet who has always known she had rather special abilities, but quickly discovers their depth and extent and that they are more than special abilities — they are incredible superpowers. Further, she discovers that a select group of people including her father and her four sisters all have differing superpowers of their own.
But where did these superpowers come from?
Were they a gift from God?
No.
They were a donation together with a starship crewed by friendly aliens from a mysterious group of aliens known as the Equalisers who were believed to be shapeshifters in human form.
The price for these donated superpowers is that Lizzy and the rest of the superhero group are thrust into a space opera involving an approaching starship armada of nefarious all-conquering alien invaders and need to use their superpowers in an attempt to defeat an approaching starship armada of nefarious all-conquering alien invaders, invaders who intend to decimate the human race as they have done to every alien race they have so far come across.
So how can Lizzy and her fellow superheroes (with the help of a particularly interesting shapeshifting alien stowaway) defeat the nefarious all-conquering alien invaders? Moreover, amid the alien perilousness and superheroeness of it all, will Regency pride and prejudice still rear its ugly head, and will Lizzy and her four sisters find love despite their perilous mission and the Equalisers’ imposed severe limitations on their ability to form loving relationships?
To find all the answers purchase and turn the pages of this wonderful English Classics/sci-fi mash-up Regency superhero space opera novel penned using the English language in all its splendiferousness to find out!

What readers are saying:
“This was such a unique spin on the sci-fi genre, I loved the Jane Austen elements on this book. It worked well for me as the first book in the Equalisers Trilogy series. I enjoyed how well everything worked as a space opera and the characters felt like the same people from Pride and Prejudice. I’m excited to see where this series will go and where T. J. P. Campbell goes.”
Kim (Goodreads 5-star review)
“I was uncertain whether I’d like this book, but am so glad I took a punt on it. There are several direct quotes from P&P, and for the first part of the book, it has the same scenarios as P&P but with a few extra phrases in. Once the heroes head to space it all drastically changes. I don’t want to give too much away, but oh my word sci-fi aside, some of the things that happen between the characters are shocking and unforeseen. I really enjoyed this book, and couldn’t put it down. I was a little disappointed that some of the ending isn’t the same as in P&P, as I’d hoped that this story was written in such a way that possibly this happened in that world and could be tied into the story, but it was still a very good story. 10/10 I’d heartedly recommend.”
Saffron Melnyk (NetGalley 5-star review)
“This book made me realise that it doesn’t matter which time period you are in or which book genre you are in. It seems the story of humanity has always been the same. A very elegant science-fiction story.”

“I have now enjoyed several of your stories and am truly impressed with the quality and quantity of your writing.
Looking forward to much more.”

“If you imagine the cast of Pride and Prejudice appearing as superheroes in a Star Trek style adventure written by a contemporary sci-fi writing Jane Austen, you might expect something like this novel.”
