This book is the journal of a small, alien being from the planet Torson. It was originally inputed onto a tiny mechanical device, apparently left behind when the alien team departed from planet Earth. 

Tiny, highly advanced artifacts have been discovered in the desert of the southwestern United States. Some believe they are evidence of an alien visitation. The equipment includes a journal written in English by the alien team's young linguist, Kentor. It describes the heartbreaks, challenges, and moral dilemmas of a group of small, intelligent beings struggling to survive in a world far different from their own. (NOTE: Contains quoted material which is in the public domain in the United States and all countries where the copyright term is the author's life plus 80 years or less.

Kentor, son of Keston, is a linguist from the planet Torson.
