Android Karenina

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was the surprising publishing phenomenon of 2009, with nearly one million copies in print and tons of buzz-and its sequel, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, received an abundance of amazing reviews. Library Journal called it "strangely entertaining, like a Weird Al version of an opera aria," and Real Simple hailed it "A Monsterpiece!" Now Sea Monsters co-author Ben H. Winters is back with an all-new collaborator, legendary Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy, and the result is Android Karenina-an enhanced edition of the classic love story set in a dystopian world of robots, cyborgs, and interstellar space travel. As in the original novel, our story follows two relationships: The tragic adulterous love affair of Anna Karenina and Count Alexei Vronsky, and the much more hopeful marriage of Nikolai Levin and Princess Kitty Shcherbatskaya. These characters live in a steampunk-inspired world of robotic butlers, clumsy automatons, and rudimentary mechanical devices. But when these copper-plated machines begin to revolt against their human masters, our characters must fight back using state-of-the-art 19th century technology-and a sleek new model of ultra-human cyborgs like nothing the world has ever seen. Filled with the same blend of romance, drama, and fantasy that made the first 2 Quirk Classics New York Times Best Sellers, Android Karenina brings this celebrated series into the exciting world of science fiction.
