`What happened to Alexander? O'Brien's answer is mesmerising ... he brings to the tale a sense of fatalism that Euripides would understand.' - Paul A. Gilster, The News and Observer `The Invisible Enemy is scholarly, gripping and intensely readable, and can be recommended to student and general reader alike.' - Derek Mahon, The Irish Times `A carefully balanced and beautifully written general biography that is a model of thoughtful scholarship.' - Roger Forseth, Dionysos `Suitable for a modern age ... fair and balanced ... The bibliography is the most complete ever assembled on modern Alexander scholarhip and will prove useful to students and scholars alike.' - Eugene N. Borza, Choice `The author ... [displays] an immense knowledge of ancient Greek literature and history, we have a book that could indeed have been written 2,000 years ago. You don't often get a chance to read a book like this.' - Joseph Losos, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
