The Flying Sorcerers is a comedic science fiction novel by Larry Niven and David Gerrold, published in 1971.It tells the story of a human astronaut stranded on an alien planet, who is perceived as a magician by the native inhabitants due to his technology. In the course of trying to get back into space, he causes havoc in the native culture, by speeding up technological development (so he can build a flying machine to get to his pick-up point) and by introducing foreign ideas and values.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The story is narrated by Lant, one of the natives of the planet. | |

Alien Sky: The Flying Sorcerers is set on a planet with two suns (a big red one and small blue one that orbits it) and no less than eleven moons ("...three body formation makes capture easy..."), as a plot point. The system also has no other planets and is inside a giant dust cloud, so there are no visible stars, although the formations of the moons are observed in a similar way to how we observe constellations. | |

"Blind Idiot" Translation: In-universe. The computer used by the human explorer to translate his words into the native tongue has a tendency toward this. For instance, when the explorer is introducing himself, his name is rendered as the phrase "as a color, shade of purple-grey". He spends much of the book being called "Purple" because of this, but he eventually sets them straight: His name was Asimov ("as a mauve"). | |
