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. 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 Nildorors and the Sulidorors. 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. Children
of Belzagor - Belzagor is a beautiful and mysterious planet, a
former Earth colony returned to its two native species. Eddie
Gundersen, a former colonist who has been initiated into some of
the planet's secrets, thinks he can live a quiet life there. But
threatened with expulsion, he is forced to accept a dangerous quest
that will lead him to the Ice Lands, 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.

Aleppo, Syria, 1934. Following a major archaeological discovery,
German soldiers from the esoteric branch of the Nazi party forcibly
take over the site and hold the French-led archaeological team
hostage. The Nazis are after an ancient weapon that they hope can
further their world conquering plans, but in the process of
uncovering it they awaken Mot, a primeval divinity that proves
utterly impossible to control. A tale of suspense,
action-adventure, and horror for fans of Indiana Jones and
Lovecraftian horror.
Ex-lieutenant Eddie Gundersen returns to Belzagor on a scientific
expedition to the borders of the indigenous lands, where he must
face his nemesis, Kurtz, and his own inner demons on a planet which
still has hidden secrets. "COLONIES: Return to Belzagor" is a new
edition of the previously released "Downward to the Earth" (2017).
It has been edited for content.

A young German Jewish filmmaker escapes the Nazi threat in
Shanghai, where he is forced to adapt to a new land and cope with
loss through the magic of filmmaking. Berlin, 1930. Aspiring
filmmakers Bernhard and Illo are madly in love, united by their
passion for cinema...and now, on the eve of the Second World War,
it could be the only thing they have left. As the streets heat up
with the flames of violent antisemitism, the couple has no choice
but to abandon their home and go into exile. With nothing but a
screenplay and each other, they manage to board a ship headed for
Shanghai-a bubbling and enigmatic city that holds the promise of
freedom...but at what cost? A powerful humanistic take on World War
II from the largely undocumented perspective of the forced Jewish
immigration to China.
The spellbinding true story of the infamous Ukrainian anarchist and
revolutionary. In early 20th century Ukraine, anarchist Nestor
Makhno, the son of peasants, was among the most heroic and colorful
figures of the Russian Revolution, encouraging his people to find
and embrace social and economic self-determination. This is his
story, of a military strategist who tirelessly defied both the
Bolsheviks and the Germans to protect his homeland. In support of
the people of Ukraine, a portion of the proceeds from this book
will be donated directly to Ukrainian relief efforts.
