Silent Partner is prima facie evidence of the birth of a master storyteller. Max is a former Naval Aviator, and a 1993 graduate of the Naval Fighter Weapons School, more commonly known as TOP GUN. He spent thirteen years in the Navy, and during that time, Max had the good fortune of associating with real heroes. He interacted with members of both the CIA and FBI, and his experiences in the Fleet, as well as those in Fallon, Nevada, Japan, and San Diego, California, gave him rare insight into the inner workings of these entities during that time. Though Max Cioux's Naval career ended in 1998, his love for all things aviation, as well as his interest in the United States Military, remains as strong as ever. It was his love of flying-like Blixen's description of flight in her memoir Out of Africa-that first fueled his need to write. For aviation enthusiasts, the author's pen name should invoke some level of interest. It is the mathematical representation that forms one boundary of the Vn diagram-often referred to as the flight envelope-Max q is simply the maximum dynamic pressure that an airframe can withstand. In other words, it is the structural airframe limitation governing maximum speed. For a more thorough explanation, feel free to search "flight envelope diagram" in your favorite search engine. His passions are wide and disparate. They include fishing, biking, brewing beer, and scuba diving, though his chief hobbies remain reading and writing. By the way, those of you who don't consider yourselves aviation enthusiasts, more specifically military aviation enthusiasts, you will still find Silent Partner chock full of adventure, intrigue, love, honor, patriotism, scandal, greed, drugs, and espionage. It is recent historical fiction that will have you rooting for the good guys and lamenting the end. Max resides in Iowa with his wife and children.lihat lebih sedikit
