About this ebook

Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds, is #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson's novella collection of science fiction thrillers that will make you question reality--including a never-before-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 Legion, Legion: Skin Deep and the brand new, shocking finale to Leeds' story, Lies of the Beholder.

Ratings and reviews

Having to buy the first two books of the series again just to get to read the third book does not sit well with me. I love Brandon's books and I hope the third book can be sold indivually at a fair price.

That ending tore at my heart strings...and the book as a whole was amazing. It felt like I was reading a Sherlock Holmes novel, as a take by Sanderson. There were some amazingly interesting themes throughout the book, and outstanding characters with awesome dialogue. I imagine this one must have been a tough one to write, what with keeping track of who said what and when. Loved it, and would recommend it as a buy from anyone who liked any of Sanderson's past works!

Reminded me of reading Sherlock Holmes books for the first time. The excitement and thrill of an unsolved case and also approaching it from the perspective of this complex main character. I binge read this the same night I bought it. I loved the book, it brought a mix of emotions and I can't wait to read more books about Stephen Leeds. Thanks for the great book Brandon Sanderson!
