About this listen

The ultimate historical adventure novel: the life of Alexander the Great in a single, epic volume.

To many he was a god. To others he was a monster. The truth is even more extraordinary.

As a boy, Alexander dreamed of matching the heroic feats of Achilles. At 18 he led the Macedonian cavalry to a stunning victory against the Greeks. By 25 he had crushed the Persians in three monumental battles and was the master of the greatest empire the world had ever seen. Men began to call him a god. But behind the legend was another, more complex story.

Narrated by his boyhood friend Ptolemy, this is the story of Alexander as you have never heard it before: raw, intimate, thrilling - a story of extraordinary daring and unimaginable endurance; of wanton destruction and murderous intrigue - the epic tragedy of a man who aimed to be more than human.

The narration is great, really enjoyed it.
I love a long audiobook I can keep dipping in and out of and this hit the mark.
It just felt odd with such a long audiobook that was so in depth, the ending was quite rushed and hurried. I guess most people will know the ending but i wanted a bigger finish.
But great audiobook.

Long but somehow a bit lacking

I loved it, considering it's a 40-plus hour listen. I was never bored, and I always wanted to listen to more. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and I will be down loading more books from that author.

Loved it!

The worst thing about reading or listening to a Christian Cameron book, is the bit where you figure out that it is going to end soon because they are all such fantastic novels and stories.

This story was ridiculously gripping and it went on for 40 hours it has kept me going for days and days and days. Peter Mobile and Christine Cameron make a fantastic pairing.

This book, it’s so good, the way it brings you through from Alexander’s childhood, with Tolemy’s view..... and the action, and the heroism,& the death and sorrow but then more huge battles!! What a book!!! 👌🏻

What a listen!! Do it.

I got this under the impression that it was a history rather than a story. My mistake but a good one. Thoroughly enjoyed the story and the narration. Everyone is familiar with the basics of Alexander but this brings him alive without being cloying. Clearly marks him as much a monster as a brilliant soldier. As the book says he was easy to love and easy to hate

Very enjoyable

One of the most entertaining and interesting books I have listened to on audible, I would recommend this to anyone.

Brilliant

The story of Alexander, as told by Ptolemy, is monumental, but Peter Noble’s superb narration grips you from the first and carries you through effortlessly. Alexander’s journey, from youth to tyrant, was enthralling and I spent many an hour listening for longer than I had intended, reluctant to put it aside. If you read one piece of martial historical fiction this year make it this. It is superlative.

Outstanding
