About this listen

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 short, distinctly contemporary novella filled with suspense, humor, and an endless flow of invention, Sanderson revealed a startling new facet of his singular narrative talent. In the stunning sequel, Legion: Skin Deep, that talent is on full display.

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 new story begins, Leeds and his "aspects" are hired by I3 (Innovative Information Incorporated) to recover a corpse stolen from the local morgue. But there's a catch. The corpse is that of a pioneer in the field of experimental biotechnology, a man whose work concerned the use of the human body as a massive storage device. He may have embedded something in the cells of his now dead body. And that something might be dangerous... What follows is a visionary thriller about the potential uses of technology, the mysteries of the human personality, and the ancient human need to believe that death is not the end. Legion: Skin Deep is speculative fiction at its most highly developed. It reaffirms Sanderson's place as one of contemporary fiction's most intelligent - and unpredictable - voices.

A Pleasure

I got the "first" book -- Skin Deep -- free from Audible and realized within fifteen minutes of listening that I needed -- and would enjoy -- Book 1 of the series, "Legion". The main character is unique in all I've read, and Sanderson does a great job with the gifts and the tensions and tells a good story in the meantime. Oliver Wyman handles the difficult material very well. A real pleasure to listen to these books.

A successful change from fantasy

Fresh concept, intriguing elements. And not a magic system in sight. Brandon broke out of his usual genre very well indeed. Remarkable voice artist.

Interesting book

I originally downloaded this for free as somebody told me it was a good book if you're into science-fiction. After finisHing the book I realize that this is a really good topic and I would like to find out more about the other books in the series.

Better than the First

Any additional comments?

This was a fun entertaining short story, I honestly like it more than the first one, which I honestly don't even recall very well.

Enjoyable listen!

I love the very idea of this story. I listened to book 2 first by accident. Now I can't wait to listen to book 1!

Loved it

I instantly got hooked with book one. This one is just as good. I'm really liking the characters and stories. Hope Sanderson continues writing more of this series!

Weird in a good way

Well i never knew there were other series before i read (or listen) to this,but yeah this is soooo much different from the other stories I've read or encountered before. Its such an unreal story.. but its acceptable if it is real,but we would still hoping that its not.Lol what am I saying? Im as crazy as Steven!

Too much hovering....not enough flight

I enjoyed this proper sequel despite its lack of action in the first half-i literally took breaks every few minutes just to break the monotony.Otherwise it gets interesting after the lull, and the laughs are aplenty! .. (more characters next, less of the same aspects droning on)

Okay

Not a great book, but I'd listen to another in the series if the price was fairly low. The premise is very funny, but the plot line was forced. he didn't know how to end it.

Builds on the first

Well worth a listen. I recommend the first one first, as it sets up this one, but it isn't required.
