In this story, Stephen is hired by one of his friends to investigate a missing corpse that has company secrets stored in its DNA, which leads to a fun detective story full of the usual hijinks one would expect when dealing with spies, assassins, and imaginary bodyguards. Hence his desire to use his special consulting skills to bring in an income. The only problem – he has to pretend that his imaginary friends are real, which means providing them with food and shelter, which can be a rather costly enterprise. He has a mental condition in which he creates personalities to house his vast collections of knowledge. The main character is Stephen Leeds, a detective who is brilliant, but a bit eccentric. ![]() ![]() Like its predecessor, Legion: Skin Deep, is a bit of a departure for Brandon Sanderson, who is more well-known for his lengthy epic fantasy sagas. ![]()
