THE TANNER PROBLEM - Tanner Book 61


Tanner is injured and stranded while completing an assassination. Seeing an opportunity to eliminate Tanner, the organization known as Cipher breaks the truce they had with him.

They reason that now that he’s older, Tanner will be easier to kill. They have a large pool of assassins to choose from since Cipher is in control of the site on the dark web known as the Clearinghouse.

Scores of assassins race to the scene where Tanner is, hoping to kill him and claim bragging rights for slaying him. They’ll also receive a five million dollar bounty.

Wounded, and decades older than many of those hunting him, Tanner is still Tanner, and the most dangerous man alive. It is a fact many will learn the hard way.

About the author

Remington Kane

252 books127 followers
Remington Kane is an American author that writes action-packed thrillers. The author might be unfamiliar to some people because Remington Kane is actually a pseudonym for Donald Wells.

Donald Wells has garnered a reputation for writing darker and somewhat serious novels about killers. The author was born in New Jersey. He never really left and has since made a home there. Like most of his peers, Donald Wells was an avid reader as a child.

He spent many an hour devouring every book he came across. And it wasn’t long before he began to yearn for the chance to write. Like many aspiring authors, Donald Wells knew he had the capacity to tell stories. However, he was a little hesitant to venture into such uncharted waters, not only because he didn’t know where to start with regards to writing a book but also because he didn’t have confidence in his own ability to produce compelling fiction.

Again, like most notable authors, Donald meandered about for a while. Rather than going into publishing the first chance he got, Donald tried his hand at various odd jobs. He worked as an insurance salesman, a Real Estate Sales person, and even a Retail manager.

The jobs, though seemingly meaningless in the grand scheme of things, did wonders for the author’s writing capabilities. Whether he was driving trucks or cleaning floors, Donald gained insight into the workings of the world.

He met unexpected people and heard their intriguing stories. He came across numerous strange encounters and even participated in some of them. He essentially dipped into so many unique aspects of life that it came as no surprise that he had more than enough stories rattling around his head when it finally came time to write his first novel.

Not that many authors can claim to have been offered a chance to act as bodyguard to a drug dealer. Since getting his first book sold, though, Donald has finally settled in his career. The author loves writing novels and there is nothing he else he would rather be doing. The fact that he has found a way to make money out of his passion makes him one of the luckier individuals in the world.

By the time Donald Wells began writing as Remington Kane, he had already become established as a novelist with numerous thrillers under his name. However, writing as Remington practically took over his life.

This is because Donald has achieved more success writing as Remington Kane than he did producing novels under his real name. Kane is best known for the Tanner series of novels. Tanner is a hit man who accepts a job to take out a mob boss.

When he is betrayed and thrown into prison, Tanner thinks of little else besides getting revenge. And once he finally gets his freedom, the hit man becomes a one man army, engaging in a brutal way against a crime organization known as the Conglomerate.

Each new book sees Tanner raising the stakes by finding a new target that will sting the Conglomerate in ways they couldn’t possibly fathom.

Remington Kane has been praised for the Tanner novels because Tanner is such a refreshing hero. The protagonist is so average physically, devoid of the exaggerated traits that most action heroes seem to bear. If not for his natural fighting and survival instincts, one would be hard pressed to tell Tanner apart from any other ordinary man on the street.

Big Time Battle for our hero in this exciting adventure as Tanner goes after a man who shares a mutual enemy, The Mexican Cartel.
When he finds that the cartel’s former accountant is guilty of a far greater crime, he decides to fulfill the contract and collect the reward. When others recognize Tanner, a group of old enemies puts a huge contract on his head and assassins and would-be assassins -- over a hundred in all -- trap him. With little help from Spenser (7) and Henry (8) added to his own creativity, an exciting climax is not to be missed. I received an advanced copy of this book from the author and voluntarily provided an honest review.

WOW! This is an excellent Tanner book, full of action and on the edge of your seat thrills. I could not stop reading it, I just had to find out how Tanner got out of his impossible situation. Tanner is going after a target and sees a girl that needs his help. They become trapped in a tunnel with only the entrance and no other exit when word goes out for a 5-million-dollar contract on Tanner's head and where he is located. Over a hundred assassins arrive at the tunnel to kill Tanner. How can Tanner possibly survive? You have to read this book to find out, you will not be disappointed.

Tanner is still a Tanner even though he is getting older

Have truly enjoyed all the Tanner books. This particular book definitely shows everyone as they age changes how they respond to situations and how ones body affects how one approaches their circumstances. Tanner is no different. In some ways this book makes Tanner seem more real as a human. Well done and I hope the author recovers and continues to write more books for this series.

The Tanner Problem

Good read. As per normal, plenty of action. The characters have been developed over the years and remain the same as usual. Basically the story remains the same, only the plot changes. This one was really good. Recommended.

Tanner is Tanner

Growing old doesn’t mean Tanner can be beaten. He is still the greatest assassin of all time.

I wonder if Lucas will become a Tanner. Depends on the author’s decision l suppose.
