Modern clashes with olden times in this bold and intriguing fast read. I had the pleasure of meeting this great author at a recent book expo and was gifted a copy in exchange for my honest review. Before reading I had wrongly assumed that the story would be slow paced due to biblical referencing and heavy A.D. jargon but I quickly found quite the opposite. Jodicus is filled with action and interesting characters such as ruthless warriors, fearsome beast, and shape shifters. Sweeney packs a huge punch into this diminutive 77pg. thriller. I highly recommend this story to anyone looking for a fast and adventurous historic read.

I was completely enthralled and mesmerized while reading this book! The story is rich with clever dialog, fast-paced action and gripping narrative. This historical adventure is full of surprises, twists and vivid settings. Jodicus would make a marvelous movie. I can't wait for J. R. Sweeney's next effort!

A Compact Novel with Impact!
By reader choice, I acquired the paperback version of this novel (78 pages). Taking place from 33 – 100 AD, spiritual and religious undertones pervade throughout a story laced with brutal combat befitting the historical era.
From the very first page, the author’s voice and writing style convincingly transport you to ancient times in the manner of a sage narrating events to a captive audience seated before him by a crackling fire inside a mountain cave. His story is propelled by Marksivna, a hero who tries to unravel his past, while fighting to preserve the new utopian village of Jodicus.
Though compact, this novel does not fall short of reader expectation. J.R. Sweeney provides vivid descriptions, backstories, witty dialogue, conflicts, and blood spills on the meadow. It is apparent the author incorporated his knowledge of historical background and his familiarity with the Bible in this well-written novel.
Reading The Village of Jodicus in one sitting justifies qualifying this book a page-turner.
