This re-release of fan-favorite adaptation of Robert Silverberg's Downward to the Earth is accompanied by the highly-anticipated Children of Belzagor, the original and never before released sequel. From the mind of legendary American science-fiction writer Robert Silverberg. What began in his acclaimed Downward to the Earth continues in this collection! First, Return to Belzagor, the fan-favorite adaptation of Downward to the Earth as adapted by writer Philippe Thirault and Eisner-nominated artist Laura Zuccheri. Then, the story continues in the all-new Children of Belzagor, a Silverberg-approved tale of legacy and the lasting effects of colonialism, never before released in English. Part One: Return to Belzagor - Ex-lieutenant Eddie Gundersen returns to Belzagor, where he left behind his youthful illusions, the love of his life, and a shameful history as a brutal colonialist. Today, the planet has been returned to its two native, intelligent species: the Nildoror and the Sulidoror. Acting as a guide for a scientific expedition deep within native territory, Gundersen confronts his inner demons and settles old scores with a planet that hasn't yet revealed all its secrets to him. Part Two: The Children of Belzagor - Belzagor is as beautiful and mysterious as ever, and the remnants of the former Earth colony are virtually restored to the planet's native inhabitants. Gundersen, now initiated into some of the planet's secrets, thinks he can live a quiet life there. But threatened with expulsion due to his colonizing past, he is forced to accept a dangerous quest that will lead him to the Ice Country, to the farthest reaches of Belzagor's unexplored territories... This journey confronts him not only with the secrets that the planet still holds, but also with old enmities.Review Quotes
