Synopsis

From #1 New York Times bestselling, Hugo Award–winning author Brandon Sanderson, and co-authors Max Epstein, David Pace, and Michael Harkins, comes an audio-first techno-thriller addition to the universe of Stephen (Legion) Leeds.

Stephen Leeds is perfectly sane. It’s his hallucinations who are all quite mad.A one-man team of experts, Stephen Leeds is a genius of unparalleled mental capabilities who can learn new skills or master entire scholarly disciplines in mere
hours. However, these skills come at a price. Stephen must compartmentalize his brain, with each of his new skill sets being held by an “aspect”—a hallucination his mind creates with their own fully developed personality, life, and limitations. Without
these aspects, and the delicate construct of reality they provide for him, Stephen is unable to control his mind and engage with the real world.

So when an unprecedented Internal Revenue Service data breach stumps the FBI, Stephen is brought in to investigate. With the help of his aspects, he must uncover the connection between millions of stolen tax returns, a mysterious hacker named Enoch,
a strange, cutting-edge technology that uses soundwaves to transfer data, and a nearly extinct Mesopotamian religion which once rivaled Christianity. What Leeds discovers along the way will reveal the devastating consequences of this new
technology, test the limits of his aspects, and lead him face to face with a man hellbent on vengeance, for which no cost is too high.

Stephen Leeds: Death and Faxes is a new entry in Brandon Sanderson’s Stephen Leeds saga and chronologically takes place between the novellas Legion and Legion: Lies of the Beholder.

Goodreads review by Anne on January 31, 2025

Stephen has a lot of people in his head. And while that sounds like a bad thing, he's managed to make it work for him. So, basically, he's like Sherlock Holmes but with dissociative identity (multiple personality) disorder. Ish. That will make sense if you read the book. Promise. This book was a compi......more

Goodreads review by TS on November 28, 2018

'Voices in My Head: Part Three' has just been published and it made me round up my rating, as I am pretty certain I will when I reread the third story. 4.5 stars. Legion carries the Sanderson trademark through and through, with concepts which are fantastical and far out, but the storytelling is alway......more
