Cool. It looks like that is a novelization of the movie, but Michael Niall is also the pen name of Howard Breslin, who wrote the short story on which the movie was based.
Apparently the actual name of the short story was “Bad time at Hondo” (not “Honda”):
Amusing that Breslin/Niall himself went along with the name change (changed to avoid clash with the John Wayne movie).
it’s tempting! but you know how the burn is… so many things to do, so little TIME.
Saw the movie many years ago. Don’t recall, any connection to the location, or just coincidence of names?
Like every other Hollywood movie set in a desert, the movie was filmed in Lone Pine, CA. Black Rock City doesn’t really exist, and I don’t know if the story’s original location (Hondo) was supposed to be in the Black Rock Desert.
