A tale of transcendence, Downward to the Earth is a remarkable novel from one of the most imaginative minds in science fiction. Edmund Gunderson--former Terran governor of the colony world of Belzagor--returns eight years after the planet has gained independence, drawn back for reasons he can't quite explain. Things have changed significantly since he left, and he plays his part well--slightly pompous former government official--for the tourists he encounters on the way down. But this is more than a simple sight-seeing visit. As Gunderson comes face-to-face with the consequences of his former attitudes and actions, he finds himself on a journey--both physical and spiritual--to the legendary mountain of rebirth.
