Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds

By: Brandon Sanderson

Narrated by: Oliver Wyman

From #1 New York Times best-selling author Brandon Sanderson comes a new novella collection, including a brand-new, never-been-published story.

Stephen Leeds is perfectly sane. It's his hallucinations who are mad.

A genius of unrivaled aptitude, Stephen can learn any new skill, vocation, or art in a matter of hours. However, to contain all of this, his mind creates hallucinatory people - Stephen calls them aspects - to hold and manifest the information. Wherever he goes, he is joined by a team of imaginary experts to give advice, interpretation, and explanation. He uses them to solve problems...for a price.

His brain is getting a little crowded and the aspects have a tendency of taking on lives of their own. When a company hires him to recover stolen property - a camera that can allegedly take pictures of the past - Stephen finds himself in an adventure crossing oceans and fighting terrorists. What he discovers may upend the foundation of three major world religions - and, perhaps, give him a vital clue into the true nature of his aspects.

Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds includes the novellas Legion and Legion: Skin Deep, published together for the first time, as well as a brand-new Stephen Leeds novella, Lies of the Beholder.

Another Sanderson pleasure

If you love Sanderson's you'll love this. especially if you're still holding over from his other series.

Loads of fun

Novel concept. I look forward to the movie it seems destined to be and seeing Morgan Freeman as Tobias ;)

Well. Now I know what my 5 star metric needs to be..

An excellent book needs a fantastic narrator. Luckily for us, it happens in this book. There are a lot of difficult areas where the narrator nails it. I think I’ll listen to it again, a great read!

A Rollercoaster of Laughs, Suspense, and Twists

This is the first book (and series) on audible that I've ever completed. I honestly can't remember a book I've read that actually brought me into tears. The narrator's excellent performance probably played a major role, but I believe even if I'd read a physical copy, I'd have the same reaction I have as of this review.

The final book is by far the most suspenseful out of all of them. All of them have some of the best character interactions you'll ever encounter in a mystery novel. This is the type of series I'll forever come back to experience.

Fantastic story and performance

Stephen Leeds is such an interesting character. The novellas each tell a great adventure. There's subtle connections to the previous ones and the final one completes Stephen's story. This collection feels like a full novel.

The vocal performance is also very well done. Each character's voice is distinctive allowing you to immerse in the story. Which is huge in this book with all the different characters.
