Factors I would like for you to consider are readability/listenability for a layman (me), and scope. I listened to Shelby Foote's entire "Narrative History of the Civil War" and thoroughly enjoyed it. The scope was vast, detail was granular, and portrayals seemed balanced. I would like something similar for Napoleanics. Many thanks.
In terms of single volumes:
Alexander Mikaberidze is publishing The Napoleonic Wars: A Global History with Oxford University Press, projected shelf date January 2020. The book runs over a thousand manuscript pages, 30 maps, and 2200 footnotes; Mikaberidze is a top notch historian of the Russian campaign of 1812, so keep an eye open there.
In terms of things actually in print, David Chandler's The Campaigns of Napoleon is a good starting point if you're most interested in Napoleon himself as a military leader; the book's not perfect, as it relies heavily on French and English sources, with relatively little reference to the German and Russian materials.
It's also good to have your own maps ready; there are quite a few in these books book, but the more the merrier. West Point's maps are mostly good, though the ones for early 1809 have a misprint on the scale marker I believe. If you can find a copy, it's worth getting the Vincent Esposito and John Elting Military History and Atlas of the Napoleonic Wars, which has no fewer than 169 to lovingly caress.
Michael V. Leggiere ed. Napoleon and the Operational Art of War is less a history as much as a series case studies of the major campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars by some of the best scholars. It's due for a new edition soon-ish, with new chapters on the Polish Campaign of 1807, and revised version of the 1796 Italy campaign. The current edition features an extensive chapter on Napoleon's management of the naval war; IIRC this one's going to be more short and sweet in the new edition.
I had to read David Gates The Napoleonic Wars for grad school; I'm not personally crazy about it (having to write reviews will do that to you), but it's a lot more compact (~300? pages) that these other books if that's of interest to you.
As a side note, I'd really recommend supplementing Shelby Foote when it comes to the American Civil War. I like the prose too, but I'd never recommend it to someone as the first book the ACW to read; I'm personally a huge fan of Ed Ayers In The Presence of Mine Enemies, which has an accompanying website which links every footnote to an actual primary source document.
