Summary: "High Dragon Bump" by Don Thompson is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century, specifically during the 1950s. The story revolves around themes of alien encounters, technological misunderstandings, and the comedic perplexities that arise from these interactions, focusing on two characters trying to navigate a potentially disastrous situation involving extraterrestrial beings. The narrative follows Wayne Brighton, a scientist who is abducted by a strange alien race known as the Cirissins, who mistakenly believe that he can help them with something they call a "high dragon bump." They intend to use this mysterious item to propel their ship away from Earth without causing destruction. As Wayne grapples with their baffling language and intentions, he discovers that their misunderstanding led to a chaotic predicament wherein they planned to resort to a hydrogen bomb if he didn't comply. The absurdities escalate with the introduction of Sheilah, a model who is also kidnapped. The two must navigate their way through confusion, miscommunication, and the looming threat of destruction while Wayne tries to comprehend the aliens' true objectives, ultimately leading to a resolution that hinges on an unexpected reinterpretation of their needs.
