Publisher's summary

Brandon Sanderson is one of the most significant fantasists to enter the field in a good many years. His ambitious, multi-volume epics (Mistborn, The Stormlight Archive) and his stellar continuation of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series have earned both critical acclaim and a substantial popular following. In Legion, a distinctly contemporary novella filled with suspense, humor, and an endless flow of invention, Sanderson reveals a startling new facet of his singular narrative talent, read by Audie Award-winning narrator Oliver Wyman.

Stephen Leeds, AKA 'Legion,' is a man whose unique mental condition allows him to generate a multitude of personae: hallucinatory entities with a wide variety of personal characteristics and a vast array of highly specialized skills. As the story begins, Leeds and his 'aspects' are drawn into the search for the missing Balubal Razon, inventor of a camera whose astonishing properties could alter our understanding of human history and change the very structure of society. The action ranges from the familiar environs of America to the ancient, divided city of Jerusalem. Along the way, Sanderson touches on a formidable assortment of complex questions: the nature of time, the mysteries of the human mind, the potential uses of technology, and the volatile connection between politics and faith. Resonant, intelligent, and thoroughly absorbing, Legion is a provocative entertainment from a writer of great originality and seemingly limitless gifts.

Fun idea, mystery not delivered

Love the main character and his aspects. Brilliant idea. Mystery did not take... Like an excuse for a philosophical discussion instead of a truly immersed story. Ending didn't finish the story. After Emporers Soul, slightly disappointing.

Short unique story

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

This story was unusual and it is rather short. I think the idea could be developed into a full length book or potentially a series. It might even make a good TV series.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would have preferred it was developed into a full length book.

Never disappoints!

Brandon Sanderson is fantastic. I have yet to read or listen to a story of his and not love it.

It fascinates me to think how one person could have such and incredible imagination. Although... maybe Brandon has a few "aspects" helping him out!

Great concept too short

A fun romp of a book that ends too quickly looking forward to more books

Great fun!

I just bought the second one and pre-ordered the upcoming release. DiscoveredSanderson through his book Snapshot, which I thoroughly enjoyed as well. Haven’t gotten into his fantasy stuff yet but may try it (if you can call a 40+ hour book trying something out). This book was a fun and interesting look into the mind of a schizophrenic. I won’t say anymore but if you want a quick listen in between longer listens then this and Snapshot are both highly recommended.

Really good intro

I got this free years ago and just now got to it. It's a good intro to Steven Leeds. I'm glad the author continued the story.

Pretty good

An entertaining short story. It is short but original. I enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend it for a road trip time killer.
