It appears the author is leveraging Fabien's branding by copying not only the style of post but more importantly the formatting and style of Fabien's books. Even structurally the book appears quite similar.
If you didn't double check the author while skimming this Keen book, you may well be mistaken that it was written by Fabien.
I took a quick skim of the content, it looks great - tempted to purchase a copy to support the author for their efforts (and have it sit on the bookshelf next to two other very similar looking books...) but need to sit on this for a while.
Maybe I'm overthinking this. Would like to hear Fabien's take on the situation.
[EDIT] It looks that the Keen book author copied and pasted direct sections[1] out of Fabien's book's TeX[2].
[EDIT] The git commit history has comments that indicate that Fabien reviewed the book, e.g. "updated all chapters after feedback Fabien" and "Proofread Fabien Sanglard en hardcopy review", so perhaps this is all sanctioned.
