Godenschemering is een verzameling van de beste verhalen uit Edmond Hamilton’s opmerkelijke, veertig-jarige loopbaan als S.F.-auteur. Bijvoorbeeld:
De Sterren, Mijn Broeders – waar een geleerde, ontwaakt uit een eeuwenlange sluimer in de diepten van de ruimte, een keus moest maken tussen zijn eigen volk en een vreemd ras.
Hoe is het daar ? – toen Haddon terugkeerde van zijn expeditie van Mars, wilde iedereen weten hoe het was…Hij kon het nimmer vertellen.
Godenschemering – waarin de mythe werkelijkheid wordt voor een man die trachtte het geheim van zijn verloren identiteit op te lossen.
