#150 | Max Uriarte | Terminal Lance & Battle Born
Max Uriarte, creator of Terminal Lance, stopped by The Protectors to talk about his new book Battle Born. Max chatted with us about the origin of Terminal Lance, getting out of the Marines, what went into creating Battle Born, and a ton of other topics. I was fortunate to receive an advance copy of Battle Born, I am completely amazed at how spot on this book (graphic novel) is to the reality of military life in a world of conflict & wars with intense action and graphics I have never seen before, you’ll see when you read it. The story needs to continue. Big shout out to Max for coming on the show and a big shout out to my awesome co-host Kelsey. BATTLE BORN is a must-read, releasing on July 28th the same day as The Protectors interview!
