I didn’t enjoy this at all, there was only one part of it that i enjoyed but without that it would have been a 1 star. There just wasn’t much to this.

Two brothers go skydiving to spread their fathers ashes while one of the workers on the farm mixes it with the soil. One brother gets caught in the tractor accidentally. 

It was meant for the brother in the military and spies where trying to kill him and got his brother instead. But he’s playing the long game for his revenge

I liked this book but was very jargon heavy and I feel like the end of the story was just justifying the army connections rather than a more interesting ending which I think should’ve been about the farm sale conflict
