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. .
