À propos de cet audio

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.

The world building is amazing, the reader is great at animating the characters through voice acting. The story is solid but not necessarily the best, the pacing is a bit of an issue. The build up to the ending felt too slow and uneventful.

Great world building and voice acting

The only thing that would make this book better is if it were longer. Fascinating concept and world, well written, easy to follow story, great delivery by the narrator. If you enjoy obscure Sci-fi like I do I highly recommend this book.

Fantastic world building
