Is the author trolling us here? Or am i just not the target audience? I think he wants to make one of the protagonist appear more sympathetic, or at least more important and powerful, so he has him be friends with one of the Koch brothers. Admittedly not David and Charles, who were running Koch Industries, but Bill Koch. Still a billionaire where the money is oil money.

Yeah, no. The more i read, the less i like the »heroes«.
