Grant (by John Mosier) app for iPhone and iPad

GRANT by John Mosier (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“Mosier has written the best appraisal of Grants generalship ever to appear…” (Charles Bracelen Flood, author of “Grant and Sherman and Lee”)

Once, mankind feared the berserkers, killer machines determined to eradicate all life in the universe. Now, after many years, the berserkers are back, stronger and more unstoppable than before. And one strange child, half human and half machine, may be humanity’s only hope—or its final destroyer.

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.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s narrator, Brian Emerson. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“A solid description of the most effective Union general. Grant has been consistently underestimated and Mosier helps correct that.” (Newt Gingrich)
