The Flying Sorcerers by David Gerrold

A humorous science-fiction tale in which a stranded space traveler and his companions must survive among a primitive, superstitious people; using limited futuristic technology and clever deception they are elevated to the status of sorcerers, sparking cultural misunderstandings, power struggles, and satirical commentary on religion, technology transfer, and the folly of imposing advanced knowledge on an unprepared society.
