The Middle Sea: A History of the Mediterranean - John Julius Norwich Audiobook

A one-volume narrative history of the Mediterranean from Ancient Egypt to 1919. Written in the racy, readable prose for which the author is famous, this is colourful, character-driven history at its most enjoyable.
This magnificent undertaking tackles a vast subject – vast in time (from the oldest surviving pyramid to the First World War); vast in geography (from Gibraltar to Jerusalem); and vast in culture, including as it does the civilizations of the Phoenicians, the Ancient Egyptians, Greece, Carthage, Rome, Byzantium, as well as the Borgias and the Medicis, Mohammed and El Cid, Napoleon and Nelson, Moslems, Jews and Christians.
The Middle Sea is not a dry record of facts; it is a rackety read about historical figures – dissolute Popes and wily Emperors, noble-hearted Generals and beautiful Princesses. But his greatest strength is naval and military history: from the Crusades to the expulsion of the Moors from Spain; from Trafalgar to Gallipoli. Towns are besieged and sacked, Kingdoms are won and lost. The narrative covers the glories of Constantinople and Venice, and the stirring history of the islands of the Mediterranean – Malta, Sicily, Crete and Cyprus.
The Middle Sea is the culmination of John Julius Norwich’s long and distinguished career as one of the greatest enthusiasts for anecdotal history, and the highways and byways of scholarship.

Audio ends around 2.5 hours followed by around 27 more hours of silence.

There is actually 29:31:57 of audio content, not just 2.5 hours. Only, some players cut the play off at a certain point (e.g. the 2.5 hour point).
Two things you can do about it.
1. Find a player that works. Do a search for ‘m4b player android’ or whatever is your OS.
2. Convert the file. In Windows, for example, use MKVmergeGUI to remux the m4b file. It will give an mka file. Then use foobar2000 to play the mka. You will see chapters 1 through 33, each about 52 min. (Foobar2000 could not play the original m4b file.)
I cannot rate as I have not heard it yet.
