Alexander the Great: Endless Horizon (Audiobook)
About the Audiobook
Before he was "the Great," he was a twenty-year-old prince stepping into a sudden, violent vacuum of power. Alexander the Great: Endless Horizon brings to life the explosive, meteoric rise of history’s most restless conqueror in a captivating, 5-hour and 21-minute unabridged audio chronicle.
Following the brutal assassination of his father, Philip II, young Alexander inherits not just a kingdom, but an unyielding ambition that will push the boundaries of the known world. This production chronicles his unprecedented decade-long campaign across Europe, Asia, and Africa—examining how a single mind remade the geopolitics of the ancient world through a cinematic, narrative listening experience.
