Waiting on Wednesday is a meme I’ve participated in for years which lets readers share their excitement for books coming out soon, and this week the story I’m eagerly awaiting is . . .
Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds
by Brandon Sanderson
Genre: Detective – SciFi
Series: Legion #1-3
Publisher: Tor Books (September 18, 2018)
Author Information: Website | Twitter
Length: 400 pages
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.
Stephen’s 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.
This fall, Tor Books will publish Brandon Sanderson’s Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds. The collection will include the science fiction 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. This never-been-published novella will complete the series.
Glad to see this will wrap things up. Sanderson needs to start finishing projects instead of just creating more and more 🙂

Interesting. I never read the original novellas, but a collection like this is exactly what would pull me in. Cool pick.

I’ve read the first of these novellas, and loved it. This will be a good opportunity to read the full series.
