Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds

Stephen Leeds is a man tormented by his own brilliance. Though perfectly sane himself, his extraordinary intelligence manifests in the form of numerous hallucinations, which he refers to as "aspects." Each aspect is an expert in a distinct field, created by Stephen's mind to help him hold and process an overwhelming array of knowledge. These aspects accompany him in his quests, giving him a unique edge in solving complex problems—for a price.

Combining elements of mystery, science fiction, and psychological thrillers, Sanderson plunges readers into a riveting world where reality and illusion blur. Stephen's latest mission involves recovering a stolen camera believed to possess the impossible capability of photographing the past. This assignment propels him on an international journey filled with peril and intrigue, crossing oceans and battling nefarious forces. Along the way, Stephen grapples with the ever-growing crowd of aspects within his mind, each taking on increasingly distinct personas. The stakes are high, as what he uncovers has the potential to shake the foundations of three major world religions and offers an opportunity to delve deeper into the enigma of his own existence and the nature of his hallucinations.

Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds is a masterful compilation that includes the novellas Legion and Legion: Skin Deep, brought together for the first time, alongside a brand-new novella, Lies of the Beholder. This collection showcases Sanderson's knack for richly detailed storytelling and inventive plot twists, making it a must-read for fans of speculative fiction.
