The is the same guy (Max Alexander) that is the author of a couple books, Patriot Dawn: The Resistance Rises and Patriot Rising: The Unbroken. He use to write under the name 'Max Velocity.' I have and read Patriot Dawn and can highly recommend it, it's excellent; however, I have not purchased his second book, Patriot Rising, because I refuse to pay $9 for any eBook, even for my favorite and extremely famous authors. I feel if they want more than a paperback price (~$7) then they are asking too much and there are lots of authors out there now and they don't need the big publishing houses so... I have to assume that he somehow managed to immigrated to the states to run his 'Max Velocity Tactical (MVT), a training company' because doubt it would do very well in the UK...but what do I know, very little.
