Stephen Leeds: Death & Faxes

Legion

By: Brandon Sanderson, Max Epstein, David Pace, Michael Harkins

Narrated by: Oliver Wyman

From #1 New York Times Bestselling, Hugo Award-winning author, Brandon Sanderson, and co-authors Max Epstein, David Pace, and Michael Harkins, comes an audio-first techno-thriller addition to the universe of Stephen (Legion) Leeds.

Stephen Leeds is perfectly sane. It’s his hallucinations who are all quite mad.

A one-man team of experts, Stephen Leeds is a genius of unparalleled mental capabilities who can learn new skills or master entire scholarly disciplines in mere hours. However, these skills come at a price. Stephen must compartmentalize his brain, with each of his new skill sets being held by an “aspect”—a hallucination his mind creates with their own fully-developed personality, life, and limitations. Without these aspects, and the delicate construct of reality they provide for him, Stephen is unable to control his mind and engage with the real world.

So when an unprecedented Internal Revenue Service data breach stumps the FBI, Stephen is brought in to investigate. With the help of his aspects, he must uncover the connection between millions of stolen tax returns, a mysterious hacker named Enoch, a strange, cutting-edge technology that uses soundwaves to transfer data, and a nearly extinct Mesopotamian religion which once rivaled Christianity. What Leeds discovers along the way will reveal the devastating consequences of this new technology, test the limits of his aspects, and lead him face to face with a man hell-bent on vengeance, for which no cost is too high.

Stephen Leeds: Death and Faxes is a new entry in Brandon Sanderson’s Stephen Leeds saga and chronologically takes place between the novellas Legion and Legion: Lies of the Beholder.

Surprised

I was pleasantly surprised with book I knew nothing about it before listening to it. But I love the authors work. It took me a little bit to get into it. But then I was enthralled. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

Excellent!!

Great story and superior narration. I highly recommend. I also wished this was a series. But, alas……….

If this is what being crazy means…

I love how we could just ascribe a label like “crazy” but to get a glimpse into the mind of Stephen Leeds and see how real it is to him truly helps me to navigate my own issues and be more of support to people around me, whether I understand their perspectives or not.
It can be a difficult thing to be alive. Let’s love each other along the way.

Great in all the ways.

I have enjoyed the nonfantasy books of Brandon Sanderson as much of if not more than the fantasy titles. His audiobooks share the same level of quality with Oliver Wyman being as talented as any other narrator I have enjoyed.

This just gets better and better

This story is easily becoming a powerful series. A truly unique concept in writing. Don’t miss an opportunity to read it!
