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.

Make it longer!!! Now!!!

What can I say? I wish this was a full length book or collection of short stories based on this character. It's original. It's humerous. It's interesting. It's intriguing.

Mr. Sanderson - write more about Mr. Leeds!

interesting idea

Very good idea, however, it felt that the best parts were not told. It is, after all, a novella only. So excellent for a short trip, but if you’re looking for a full-developed novel better stay clear of it - you might be disappointed.
Narration is alright.

It was interesting...

Good concept, but more time needs to be spent on the story telling. Too many shortcuts are taken within the plot. It needs to be fleshed out more

A great surprise for a story I didn't want.

What made the experience of listening to Legion the most enjoyable?

I didn't mean to download this title. I'd finished all of my other audio books and had a long drive ahead of me. Boy, was I surprised by how much I enjoyed it!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Legion?

The lead character and his "personalities"!

What does Oliver Wyman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He brought a depth that a good narrator can give.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed a few times out loud.

Great Short Story from an Amazing Author

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I got this while it was free here on audible. It is an amazing short story. I found the voice actor to be very skilled, and I just lost myself in the narrative.

What did you like best about this story?

Quick read, but it fells like a novel.

What about Oliver Wyman’s performance did you like?

I lost myself in the story, I didn't even notice him there. Which is a huge complement.

Too short no story here

Would you try another book from Brandon Sanderson and/or Oliver Wyman?

Yes i like most of his other books but this one was far to short and there was no story development. This seems like the middle part of one of sanderson's books. He forgot to include the begging and the end.
