Poul Anderson, Harvest Of Stars, 10, Database.
To answer an earlier query, here, this chapter is set shortly after Guthrie and his friend had been University students so it is well before 2018. Guthrie drives away with his friend's dead body:
"Later he understood that what he had also left behind was his youth." (p. 129)
Parallel Dominic Flandry:
"She enjoyed the rest of the voyage, even after she had identified the change in him, the thing which had gone and would never quite come back. Youth."
-Poul Anderson, Ensign Flandry IN Anderson, Young Flandry (Riverdale, NY, 2010), pp. 1-192 AT p. 152.

Kaor, Paul!
I remember that bit from ENSIGN FLANDRY as well. The grim ruthlessness of Brechdan Ironrede seems to have badly shocked Dominic Flandry.
