This is thought to be J.S. first novel but not the first she published. It was writtn in the 50's. It's very interesting to compare her writing style then to Valley of the dolls.

It was a space travel story and a love story

So you think you know Jacqueline Susann?

Well you don't. Not until you read Yargo. This is an amazingly good sci fi/love story. Janet, the heroine is probably the most complicated female Ms. Susann ever created and Yargo himself is perfect, literally, he's worshiped as a god by a whole planet. The book has humor, wit and hooks the reader from the very first paragraph. If you don't touch another Jacqueline Susann book, give this one a chance.

It was published years after Susann's death. It seems she had given it to a publisher friend of hers and he "lost" it in his files. He rediscovered it years later and it was published once and seems to be forgotten. I could never understand why. I read Yargo as a teenager and absolutely loved it. --starvinArtist
