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.
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.
The tale of two very unlikely partners in crime set in New York
City's Roaring Twenties. Nola is a poor white girl living on the
streets who has learned to survive by any means necessary. Slim is
a black pimp with a shady history, constantly looking over his
shoulder in fear of his own past. When their options run out and
their paths cross, Nola and Slim forge a partnership as hired
killers. Miss: Better Living Through Crime is a story about what it
takes two people to survive when all they have is a gun and each
other.

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.
