OverviewFrom #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes the complete tales of the mysterious Stephen Leeds. 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.

Table of ContentsReviewsbrilliantly written, light and funny when required and serious at the appropriate moments....And there are so many secrets left to explore so much more to find out about Legion and his aspects that I'm hopeful of another book, as frustratingly, but in a good way, it left me wanting more. * Escapes of a Bookworm * If you haven't checked out this series yet, you should. It's a super fun blend of sci-fi/fantasy and modern thriller, and is totally different from anything else Sanderson has written - you know, apart from the fact that it's also fairly mindblowingly awesome. ;) So whether or not you've read his stuff before, you should give this a try. * Therewerebooksinvolved.com * with unanswered questions lingering and Stephen's mind slowly reaching saturation point, there's potential for the series to develop into greater character study and more complex mysteries. * Starburst Magazine * We get some brilliantly funny scenes between Stephen and his personae, not to mention some brilliantly clever scenes that really shape our view of Stephen's world...Legion: Skin Deep is an absolutely fantastic read, * Fantasy Book Review * The decidedly though-provoking premise, that the human body and its cells can be used as receptacles to store information...makes for a very interesting read * Pat's Fantasy Hotlist * Author InformationBrandon Sanderson is a Number One New York Times bestseller, a Sunday Times bestseller, and a David Gemmell and Hugo Award winner, his novels have sold more than 40 million copies around the world.
