The Sunlit Man

A Cosmere Novel

By: Brandon Sanderson

Narrated by: William DeMeritt

Length: 11 hrs and 11 mins

Publisher's summary

From the #1 Kickstarter campaign of all time—#1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson adds to his Cosmere universe shared by Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive with a new standalone novel that combines fantasy and science fiction. Narrated by William DeMeritt.

Running. Putting distance between himself and the relentless Night Brigade has been Nomad’s strategy for years. Staying one or two steps ahead of his pursuers by skipping through the Cosmere from one world to the next.

But now, his powers too depleted to escape, Nomad finds himself trapped on Canticle, a planet that will kill anyone who doesn’t keep moving. Fleeing the fires of a sunrise that melts the very stones, he is instantly caught up in the struggle between a heartless tyrant and the brave rebels who defy him.

Failure means a quick death, incinerated by the sun…or a lifetime as a mindless slave. Tormented by the consequences of his past, Nomad must fight not only for his survival—but also for his very soul.

Note from Brandon:

I sincerely believe that stories don’t live until they’re heard. While I would write even if no one were listening—it’s who I am—I thrive because I know the stories are being brought to life by all of you. In this, stories are a special kind of art. Each of you will visualize this book, and its characters, a little differently—you will each put your own stamp on it, making it yours. I don’t believe a story is quite finished until that has happened—until the dream in my head has become a reality (even if briefly) in yours.

And so this book is yours, as they all are once you listen to them. Thank you so much for bringing life to my work, and to the Cosmere.

excellent

this was an excellent cosmere novel that lets you follow a character you should remember from storm light. I really enjoyed it.

loved an era 4 Sanderson story

this was my first dip into what era 4 could look like for Sanderson works. cosmere fans will love this, although having prior knowledge of at least the stormought archives is a must to get the full potential of this book.

Incredible

The more I read, the more I want. The Cosmere never ceases to repeatedly blow my mind, and this book only served to further that trend. Great book.

Good narrator, but no Michael Kramer, to be sure

There are Cosmere characters that have already been established by Michael Kramer and this fellow isn't using the correct accents.
I will be checking out his other works, as he is quite talented, but Hoid needs to sound like Hoid.

More Cosmere greatness

Thrill ride of an adventure for a character I thought I knew! can’t wait to see where he pops up next.

Good cosmere story

A cosmere substory on a planet with interesting powers, characters and terrain with a minor stormlight character.

Another world to lose myself.

No spoilers, this book is another example of Brandon Sanderson’s genius. It’s another story line that could just keep going. I hope to see more of these books be released!

Breakneck Neo-Western!

Wow, such a fantastic novel in the Cosmere, especially connected to the Stormlight Archive. Nomad is a compelling central figure. I loved every second!

another enjoyable book

A good pace to this story and excellent narration. Really enjoyed the mystery behind around Nomad and the character overall

Such a powerful story!! I loved the narrator as well.

I loved zellion!! And the religious tie ins of the book. Not everything happens the way we want it to, but it is the way that someone wants it to.
