And The Sun Goeth Down by Terry Mark is a historical fiction that depicts the tales of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, the ex-president of the United States, and Ernie Hemingway as they battle the undead known as Aztec rotters in New Mexico before the Great War in 1917. It started at El Morro National Monument when a group of Aztec rotters attacked the platoon and killed several soldiers. Colonel Roosevelt and Lieutenant Seth Groome killed the Aztec soldier by shooting him in the head. Meanwhile, in Shakespeare, Ernie battles the Aztec soldiers with a shotgun and barely makes it out. Where are these undead from? What magical power possesses the undead? Would Colonel Roosevelt and Ernie Hemingway meet eventually? Find out more when you grab a copy of the historical fiction book And The Sun Goeth Down by Terry Mark.

What I loved most about this novel was the author's writing style; it brought reality to his writing and allowed me to visualize the battle scenes as they occurred. Another thing I love about this novel is that it elicited strong emotions in me as I read its chapters. I felt energized during the battle scene, and I also felt sad about the loss of the soldiers' lives caused by Victor Frankenstein. The introduction of various characters in the plot is another thing I liked about the novel, especially the likes of Chief Banco, Lieutenant Quentin, and General Pershing. My favorite character was Colonel Roosevelt, as he displayed the true virtue of a leader: he always stood with his men during every battle, being at the frontline even when the odds were against them.

There is nothing that I disliked about the novel And The Sun Goeth Down by Terry Mark; every chapter was interesting and intriguing. It was hard to predict what would happen next, which made the novel more fun. The writing was fluent and easy to understand. There was a single grammatical error spotted in the novel, but it didn't affect my reading process of this novel. I neither found this novel monotonous nor tedious as I read each chapter.

I would give this novel a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because I enjoyed reading each chapter, and I would also wholeheartedly state that this novel has been professionally edited because of the single grammatical error that I spotted.

I would recommend this novel to readers who love reading novels in the adventure, action, war, and history genres, as these are the themes employed in the novel by the author Terry Mark.

A historical book like this about war can be fascinating. This book showing events far back 1917 is something one might just want to know with The storyline all linked to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt interests me. Wonderful review giving the reader an insight into the book.
