The Ban-dol is a science fiction story told from the alien’s viewpoint. It is about a little guy facing a very big world on his own having been marooned on a strange world by its makers’ stupidity. Sent to undo one act of stupidity, it ends up in the middle of the Nevada desert alone except for the band of ho-mun-dee intent on capturing it because of another.
However, the ban-dol quickly learns to cope and so carries on regardless, surviving on its wits alone as it escapes from the ho-mun-dee time and again unto finally it reaches its goal, a downed spaceship hidden by the humans in Area 51.
