My friend sent me a code made entirely of emojis for the name of a sci-fi book

I’m stuck on a code for a book a friend gave me and could use fresh eyes. Here’s what I received and my best attempt at cracking it.

**What they sent:**

The 🚖🍎🐰🔒🐘🧂 Ⓜ️🍎🥬🐘🐰💤

**My best guess at the decode:** each emoji stands for the first letter of the object shown.

🚖 taxi = **T**
🍎 apple = **A**
🐰 rabbit = **R**
🔒 lock = **L**
🐘 elephant = **E**
🧂 salt = **S**

Ⓜ️ =** **M
🍎 apple = **A**
🥬 lettuce = **L**
🐘 elephant = **E**
🐰 rabbit = **R**
💤 sleep = **S**

**Other clues my friend gave me:**

\*\*•\*\*	It’s a \*\*science fiction novel\*\*    
\*\*•\*\*	Title format is \*\*“The \\\[6-letter word\\\] \\\[6-letter word\\\]”\*\*    
\*\*•\*\*	It’s \*\*philosophical\*\*, not pulp adventure    
\*\*•\*\*	It differs by about \*\*6 letters\*\* from the string \*\*“The Tarbes Marles”\*\*
