Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Boy Meets Dyevitza" by Robert F. Young is a science fiction novel crafted during the early 1960s. Set on the planet Venus, it explores themes of love, rivalry between superpowers, and the prospect of interspecies understanding. The story encapsulates a romantic narrative and the improbable scenario of an American astronaut and a Soviet cosmonaut navigating their complex emotions against the backdrop of their nations' competitive space endeavors. The plot follows Captain Gordon Andrews, an American astronaut, who encounters Major Sonya Mikhailovna of the Soviet Space Force upon his arrival on Venus. Their meeting is complicated by national rivalries and cultural misunderstandings that lead them to be captured by a group of indigenous Venusians, who misinterpret their interaction as a violation of societal norms. As the narrative unfolds, Gordon and Sonya find themselves unexpectedly wed by the Venusians, who mistakenly believe that their relationship requires legitimization according to their customs. As they navigate the challenges of their situation, including the implications of their marriage and the ensuing political ramifications back on Earth, their relationship deepens, leading to a unifying event that bridges the divide between their countries, ultimately promoting peace. The conclusion reveals the birth of their child, who symbolizes hope and cooperation in a world fraught with tension.
