【實用書籍app】Caesar’s Legion (by Stephen Dando-Collins)|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

CAESAR’S LEGION by Stephen Dando-Collins (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“Written in readable, popular style, Caesar's Legion is a must for military buffs and anyone interested in Roman history at a critical point in European civilization." (T. R. Fehrenbach, author of “Lone Star”)

With penetrating insights into the mind of history’s greatest general and a grunt’s-eye view of the gruesome realities of war in the Classical Age, Stephen Dando-Collins paints a vivid and definitive portrait of the daily life of the Tenth Legion as he follows Caesar and his men along the blood-soaked fringes of the empire.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.
