There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The first item on his to-do list: Spending his newfound windfall. On an urge to splurge, he signs up to have his head cryogenically preserved in case of death. Then he gets himself killed crossing the street. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.

Story
Nicholas Flamel is the greatest Alchemyst to ever live. The records show that he died in 1418, but what if he's actually been making the elixir of life for centuries? The secrets to eternal life are hidden within the book he protects - the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed, and in the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. And that's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. There is one hope. If the prophecy is true, Sophie and Josh Newman have the power to save everyone. Now they just have to learn to use it.

Publisher's Summary
“So you won't keep anything from me again?"
He put his hand to his chest. "Cross my heart and hope to die."
"Okay then. Though you don't actually have a heart," she said.
"I know."
"And technically, you've already died."
"I know that too."
"Just so we're clear."
Stephanie's uncle Gordon is a writer of horror fiction. But when he dies and leaves her his estate, Stephanie learns that while he may have written horror, it certainly wasn't fiction.
Pursued by evil forces intent on recovering a mysterious key, Stephanie finds help from an unusual source – the wisecracking skeleton of a dead wizard.
When all hell breaks loose, it's lucky for Skulduggery that he's already dead. Though he's about to discover that being a skeleton doesn't stop you from being tortured, if the torturer is determined enough. And if there's anything Skulduggery hates, it's torture… Will evil win the day? Will Stephanie and Skulduggery stop bickering long enough to stop it? One thing's for sure: evil won't know what's hit it.
Critic Reviews
"The balance between humour and danger is well handled in Derek Landy's fun, fast-paced fantasy." (The Guardian)

Great read love the narration
I loved the narrator of this book. I've already read the whole series, but the audiobook is a different experience. I'd recommend Skulduggery Pleasant to younger and older readers alike, although as the series goes on the books do become more mature, kind of like Harry Potter does.

I absolutely adore this book
Out of all of the books I think this is the funniest. I have no idea why ai find it so funny. It just is, I completely agree with Stephanie I could listen to Skullduggery’s voice all day.
I have only gotten up to Kingdom of The Wicked and then stopped after I got to Carol’s chapter cause I know sje ends up dying. I have a very much loved copy of Playing With Fire.
I absolutely love the blurb on the back of the frist book. Its the best. This was a wonderful book and I love it and will very likely read it many more times in the future.

Great book, somewhat lacking in terms of narration
Love the humour of the Skulduggery series, and the story is compelling. Not so sure about the narration though. Don't appreciate that all the female characters all sound weepy when stressed throughout. The crying voices do not match the impressions we got from the books and it just seems like the narrator does not have the ability to portray a non-weepy stressed woman.

Pleasantly surprised!
Ok so i’ve been reading books that i’ve read in the past for nostalgia’s sake and i’m really surprised to see how good this book still is! First of all i don’t hate the protagonists!! They don’t make stupid mistakes purely as a plot device ( although the other supporting characters actions can be called into question ). I liked the dynamic between the two protagonists and it was actually had some funny and smart dialogue, if it was being cringy it was deliberate and the characters would acknowledge it. Looking forward to devouring another series! And can we talk about the narrator! he’s amazing but i saw that he gets replaced in some of the books ahead so i’m not looking forward to that, hopefully the others will be as good as him.

Fabulous
Rupert Degas is a genius! Only listened to this one because of him. I’ve come to realise that his name is enough to tempt me to buy a book because if he’s narrating it then the story must / will be good. Great airport nonetheless. Thank you Mr Degas!

Amazing story teller
I’d listen to more audio books if this guy narrated more of them. Great story, great narration, perfect and worth the money.
