Young is a science fiction novella written in the early 1960s. The story centers around Herbert Quidley, an aspiring writer with a particular interest in romance, who becomes entangled in a mystery involving a series of cryptic messages hidden in an obscure literary tome. His pursuit of the alluring Kay Smith reveals surprising connections to an interstellar society and the concept of conscription for marriage. In this intriguing narrative, Quidley navigates the complexities of attraction, deception, and unexpected intergalactic obligations as he follows Kay's clues. The plot thickens with each hidden message, leading Quidley to discover that Kay and her friends are from a distant planet, Fieu Dayol, where a severe gender imbalance compels them to seek Earth men as potential mates. This delightful blend of romance and science fiction peaks when Quidley finds himself unwittingly drawn into Kay's world, culminating in a humorous yet thought-provoking confrontation with interstellar traditions and personal choices regarding love and commitment.
