Admiral Thomas Bennet: A Pride & Prejudice Adjacent Story
In this, my 21st story, Thomas Bennet, unlike in canon, is born a second son. His father only cares about his heir, James, and the latter is somewhat of a bully to his younger brother. Born between the two brothers, there is a sister, Felicity, who is also ignored by Henry Bennet. Thomas and Felicity are very close.
Henry is happy to sign the papers allowing Thomas to go to sea as it will save him the trouble of raising his son, and the money he would have expended educating and feeding his younger son. Henry’s wife, Beth, is not happy about her son going into the navy before he is 12, but she has no influence with her husband, and he refuses to reverse his decision.
Thus, when he is 11, Thomas joins the Royal Navy as a midshipman and is trained by the man who becomes his mentor and friend, Lieutenant Horatio Nelson.
Fanny Gardiner does marry a Bennet, but which Bennet is revealed in the book.
James Bennet is very resentful that not only is his younger brother famous, but he has earned a very large amount of prize money as well. The story shows us how that jealousy causes various characters to react.
The story follows both Thomas Bennet’s career in the navy and the life of his family. There are most of the characters we love, and some we love to hate, from canon, along with some of the ones I have introduced in my various books.
All five Bennet daughters we know from canon are present, however which daughter is born to which Mrs. Bennet is a question which will be answered in the story.

About the author
Shana Granderson
55 books64 followersI have three children and after a disastrous first marriage I found my soul mate who I thought that was lost to me over 25 years ago. I recently married the love of my life. I live with my soul mate in Australasia and have three pets, two cats, Darcy and Bingley and a golden lab, Honey.
Like many high school students, Pride and Prejudice was assigned to me in an English literature class. It was not my favourite book, but I read it as I had to. I forgot about the book until in my 30’s when I saw and fell in love with the 1995 Pride and Prejudice version made for TV in England, and purchased a copy of the DVD that is now much played.
The tipping point was the 2005 big screen adaption of P&P. Not long after seeing it I found and read the complete works of Jane Austen on Amazon, starting with Pride and Prejudice. The latter book is by far my favourite. After I read it three of four times over, I wistfully said to myself: ‘it is a great pity that Miss Austen never wrote a sequel to her seminal novel.' One day I was searching Kindle books and for the fun of it I entered “Pride and Prejudice Sequel’ into the search not expecting any results.
The rest is history. I discovered the JAFF community and books. I became a veracious reader of JAFF books and once I had devoured all of the sequels and continuations that I could find, I read my first variation. I had been resisting variations wrongly thinking that I would not enjoy them as much as the sequels. Boy, was I ever wrong! Today I am the proud owner of well over 1,000 JAFF novels that I have purchased on Amazon. 'A Change of Fortunes' is my first book that I wrote. There are a number of others on the way.

First half is great - 5 stars. Second half is blah - 3 stars. Next time I'll read the first half with the development of Thomas Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy as young men, and skip the second half, which is routine, uninspired family subplots.

Admiral Bennet
The story is about Thomas Bennet, his life, his love, his family. Not much angst. Telling how Thomas Bennet became an admiral and what it meant to his family. Pleasant but not a compelling story. Lizzy and Darcy’s romance was just one of many stories. There were many evil people but they didn’t really cause many problems. I didn’t feel close to any of the characters. All emotions were muted but a calm book is ok sometimes.

He’s in the Navy! That’s a blue coat, right?
>>Rating: Mature: death, battle descriptions, violence, murder, madness, language, descriptions not appropriate for younger readers, you know… the usual with this author.
>>Angst Level: Tense: with men serving King and Country, there would be descriptions of naval maneuvers that would be rather anxious. Yeah, then you have murder attempts, and such that would be a nail-bitter.
>>Source: I borrowed this from KU on 10-15-23 and volunteered to leave a review of my thoughts and opinions. The errors are mine.
>>Trope: different pairings, different professions, in other words, AU: alternate universe
Not much was the same from the canon account. Granderson took Austen’s characters and tossed them into the air. From that, a whole new universe was created. There were different professions and pairings for the majority of our characters. With an alternate lifepath, many characters were changed. It was interesting to see how different they were because of, or in spite of, the tweak in their situation. That was fun. I actually liked this characterization of Thomas Bennet.
The historical references were an added touch. Events, dealing dealt with the war effort and England’s Naval involvement, were amazing. There had to be a lot of research done for this story. I appreciated how the author wove a whole new tapestry with our characters. This was an exciting story.

Good Chronicle
I haven’t read this author’s work since The Hypocrite was released and there have been many books of hers released since then. I was very happy to see that she has incorporated better editing and proofreading to improve the reader’s enjoyment. Kudos.
The writing style still leans heavy on the narrative side, reading more like a family chronicle than a novel, with just splashes of dialogue here and there. That said, if you like this style, I believe you will enjoy it. I thought it was good, if a little long.
Of those I have read, have always liked the off-canon storylines this author presents, but was put off by the lack of editing. With the great improvement I have seen in this book in that regard as I noted above, I won’t hesitate to try another, and may go backwards from time to time and catch up on those I have missed.
In this volume, I especially enjoyed the strong character portrayals of Bennet and Mr. Bingley. There are some mature themes mentioned between married couples, but nothing graphic.

Thomas Bennet is a second son who becomes respected and fabulously wealthy serving the Navy. The rest is this authors usual cast of characters with no angst or misunderstandings. It is kind wealthy people pairing up, in love, dealing with literal crazy people and becoming more wealthy.

Lovely story
What a different Stoey. What a different set of circumstances the author gave...I loved the way the author wove the story with all the same character of p and p but defiantly was a wonderful way to tell a alternate story. I enjoys it very much

Fantastic
I loved this story. The main villain this time was Mrs Bennet, and Lady Catherine. New storyline and a few new characters. It was strong through out and kept my attention.

My only complaint was at times the narrative devolved more into a report of fact statements rather than a cohesive story. While I understand the author must convey certain information for the story, I still think it could have read less like a report in some spots.
Otherwise I loved it! Though it might have been just a touch too many characters- I could barely keep the extended families, aside from the ones I’m already familiar with like the Fitzwilliam’s straight, straight.

Guilty pleasure
You gotta love the way that villains and annoying characters in Shana Granderson's creations get the most satisfying comeuppances and setdowns. Although this isn't great literature, she's a very good writer, and I get a perverse enjoyment from her books. As the title suggests, this isn't a book about Elizabeth and Darcy. However, their relationship is an important element of the storyline. The book summary tells you up front that there will be a "shuffling of the deck" when it comes to Mr Bennett, his place in the Bennett family, and who marries whom. There's even a shakeup in the fundamental relationship of the various daughters. The end result is that there's not much resemblance at all to the original P&P, but it's a compelling story in its own right.
Because Thomas Bennett is a second son, and because his father cares little for him, he leaves home at eleven years of age to join the Royal Navy. He's smart, ambitious, and hard working, and he rises through the ranks quite rapidly for his age, and makes his fortune through prize money from captured ships. He marries well to a woman he loves, and is a wonderful husband and father. Meanwhile, the firstborn Bennett son marries a woman who compromises him, so he's unhappy, and she's a terrible wife and mother to all daughters.
The story is engaging, and definitely kept my interest. I deducted a star mainly for a scene near the end of the book, the wedding of Elizabeth and Darcy. There's a confrontation at the wedding between ODC and Caroline Bingley, and the whole episode was horrendous. It was ludicrous to begin with, but then it became worse when both Elizabeth and Darcy speak to Caroline, in front of a church full of people, in a shockingly vicious and haughty way. Not their finest moments! It was disappointing to see characters we love stoop to such behavior.
Besides this unfortunate scene, Ms Granderson has a tendency to marry off her characters a little too conveniently and tidily, mostly within a small framework of relations and friends. It seems to be a habit of hers.
However, the book is well written and well edited. I recommend it highly.

Very interesting story
Changes in the circumstances surrounding how Mr Bennet becomes the master of Longbourne leads to more interesting characters and a very rich story. Mr Bennet is the second son and ends up going into the Royal Navy at age 11. He's fortunate to be under the future Admiral Lord Nelson who is beginning his own career. This leads to a fruitful education in Naval tactics and great wealth from his success capturing French and American ships. Thomas serves under several different naval officers including Captain Jack Sparrow who isn't a pirate but instead captured pirate ships! With the difference in characters and the actions taken by them leads us to an entirely different story. His older brother dies and leaves his children to his family - Gardiners and Philips. Mrs Bennet is sent off with her small amount of money to live without her daughters. Lady Catherine and Caroline Bingley both leave chaos in their individual attempts at gaining the wealth of Pemberley. Unfortunately there's a lack of plotting individuals to stir up trouble. Wickhams reformed and a good guy, Collins is too stupid to wreck anything and the Younges are eliminated early during their crime spree. I did enjoy reading this though!

This is different from canon. Mr.bennet was a second son of a country gentleman who was ignored by his father and bullied by his older brother. His sister was also ignored by her father. He went into the Royal Navy before he was12 as a midshipman and rose in the ranks. Married the lady he loved. She gave birth to Elizabeth and later her brothers. Meanwhile, his older brother was compromised and forced to marry. From his marriage resulted in 4 daughters,Jane, Mary, kitty and Lydia. The elder brother was in ill health and later died, but not before ensuring his daughters were cared for. In the end, Mr. Bennet was elevated to an Earl. Elizabeth married Mr. Darcy, Jane married Richard fitzwilliam. Lady Catherine was her usual self, demanding Darcy to marry her daughter Anne. Miss Bingley was also her usual self with her delusions of marrying Mr. Darcy. She and lady Catherine both died as well as Mrs. Fanny bennet.

I wanted to like it
I’ll start with the positives. I really liked the premise.
However, I struggled with reading it for two reasons. The main reason is that all the ‘good’ characters never appear to struggle with getting their way. Everything happening to them - 90% of the time- is all positive. Additionally, when something bad does happen to them- a character hurting them for example, there is zero evidence of emotional or mental struggle before forgiveness happens. In other words, there was no suspension of disbelief. It seems like a happy fairytale, not a story that could actually happen. Hard to relate to any of the characters.
Additionally, the author was lazy in naming one-off characters that are mentioned once or twice and never again. Examples: names of pirates: Jack Sparrow and Barbossa. Names of naval captains: James Kirk and Patrick Stewart.

Lifelong adventure
As the title indicates this story is primarily about Thomas Bennet and his life, love and trials. You get to witness firsthand his relationship with his parents, his older brother and his wife, his career, his marriage, his children and ever-growing friendships and relations. You get to watch Elizabeth grow up and how she turns Darcy on his heel for being stupid. For the most part, Darcy and Elizabeth’s relationship is angst free. Overall, this was an enjoyable story that I will read again. Granted there were a few things that a good editor could have helped with, but it did not take away from the overall story. There is an epilogue that felt a little long but I did like the very last part of it as a closing scene.

I really dislike giving low ratings and I do feel bad because I didn’t hate this. It’s just so terrible and bears no resemblance to JA whatsoever. It’s like a fairy godmother has sprinkled dollops of amazing luck on the Bennetts leaving only the women -Mrs Bennett, Lady C and Caroline Bingley - as the villains (and they don’t get to be very villainous at all). I did read the whole thing in a state of incredulity so at least the author will receive some financial benefit.
The only bit that was marginally amusing was Captain Jack Sparrow, followed by Captain James Kirk and Captain Patrick Stewart.

Well managed angst
A very good read for a holiday break from school that was free on the Kindle app. Basically the characters of canon with mild villainous angst that is easily managed or deflected to ensure little to no uncomfortable moments for anyone else. (Spoiler alert) I wish the deaths of Darcy and Wickham’s fathers early in the story had been handled differently. I enjoy variations in which one of his parents live.

A good one
This is an interesting take on the Pride & Prejudice story. A complete telling starting with Bennets story. The characters lead mostly different lives from the original. Creative, different but much the same. I really enjoyed this story. I rarely if ever give 5 stars unless they are superlative.
I really enjoyed this one. If you enjoy P&P revisits. Try this one. It's well worth reading.

pretty good - more like a history than a story though
A lot of the story seemed to be in summary—which made sense given the large time scale of the story and the number of characters that were detailed. But it sometimes felt like Darcy and Elizebeth weren’t getting that much screen time.
This is a good well researched read for those not overly concerned with the original storyline and interested in a very different JAFF.

This was more information dump and less of a story. This wasn't romantic. This was focused on military and war accomplishments. Lots of couples. Lots of Originals characters. The villains of canon are handled differently. some are redeemed while still children. Some are not indulged to stir mischief. Few cannon couples are together so there are shuffling of who marries who.
This felt like a outline of a story. Bullet points.

Absolutely Fabulous!!!
5 easy stars for a story that is gripping, low angst, and epic. There are points of pure whimsical humor (Caroline Bingly's middle name & several officers in the navy) points of poetic justice, points of personal growth, and a perfectly crafted Austen type world that I would want to visit personally if I could.

A Unique P&P-Related Story
Replete with intriguing variations from canon, Admiral Thomas Bennet is a satisfying and mostly angst-free story. Even Wickham reforms! Ms Granderson has enlisted better editors/proofreaders and their diligence has resulted in a much better edited book than some previous works.

3.75⭐️
After some duds I finally found a variation I enjoyed. This was a good read that focused mostly on Mr. Bennet's life if he were an Admiral. I loved the path his life took and the story was reminiscent of the Memory trilogy with its extended family. It still had over the top characters, but in a good way.

Interesting saga
Entertaining variation on a theme. I found the storyline well thought through, but the way it was written, in the form of mostly "telling" what was happening became rather tiresome. I finished the book, but I admit I was tempted to throw in the towel.

Good story
Written mostly like history especially at the beginning and ending. I feel it has a lot of characters to keep up with that are new. Good characters, but hard to keep up with. Especially since calls by different names, etc.
Read once, but will not need to read again.

A Wonderful rendition of P&P
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was delightful to see all the characters change in different ways as different circumstances give me to the real life. I can’t wait to read more by this author.

A complete retelling of love, reward, and consequences based on Jane Austen’s beloved Pride and Prejudice. Recommend reading for those who love venerations.
