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.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.

I had a whole fleet of them -- different friends for different circumstances and occasionally they would all get together at the same time and we’d have a big party. Well, the main character in this story has a lot of ...

Legion is a short story that delivers in a big way. At a mere 88-pages, it managed to draw me into a story that was unlike anything I've ever read - and leave me wanting more. Once again, Brandon Sanderson delivers with addictive storytelling, unique characters and a premise unlike all others. Wh...

4.0 Brandon Sanderson's Legion *very minor spoilers*
Brandon Sanderson is an author who seems always to be waiting somewhere down my to-read list. This isn't because I put off his books; it's more because he's such an incredibly prolific writer, I could probably spend the next year or so devoted solely to going through his back-catalogue. Whilst thi...
