About the author
Remington Kane
260 books135 followersRemington 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.

At less than 200 pages, a very quick read. No surprise when Tanner completes his contract. But his price per assassination is going up.

Ultimate Assassin
Good fast read. By now you know what you are getting. Tanner, the best assassin, is given a problem which he fights his way through and the good guys win. The characters have been developed. You know there’s going to be lots of action and a high body count. And as soon as the new Tanner book comes out, you drop everything to read it. And you enjoy it. This one was no different. He finally got to go after the “ultimate assassin” who has been unbeaten in the past. We got a good story. One minor complaint is that Greer didn’t impress me in the slightest. Tanner won, of course, but it seemed like he didn’t have to break a sweat doing it. I expected more of a hard time considering the build up we had gotten over the last couple of books. Still enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next one.

When all others fail, Tanner can be counted on to complete the task. Augustus Greer has escaped numerous attempts on his life, and the assassins sent to eliminate him were themselves killed. Once Tanner’s price is met, the contract is set and the deed is as good as done. The only thing left is to see how story unfolds. Tanner eliminates many would-be obstacles and even befriends another as the saga continues

Good Time
There is death in that desert! The writer takes us on a journey to the desert to a fortress that's hiding secrets, men with dark appetites and on top of that there's a killer on the loose. The story moves at steady pace,were we get settle into the story and get to know all the players. Tanner faces quite a few hurdles but hey we know he's a winner. Every moment is an experience in adventure and a whole lot of mayhem.

Wow. 'Ultimate Assassin' was the ultimate story to prove once again how bad-ass Tanner is. The whole story was so well written and well played out. It amazes me that Mr. Kane still comes up with creative and different scenarios for Tanner. Definitely a must add to your tbr list. Recommended read.

I read this book, like the others, in one evening. Not sure if the stories are just very short or too interesting to put down. I'm leaning towards the latter!

Ultimate assassin
Typical Tanner story with all the superiority shown in ambush and all-out assaults. Good thing he is ready to find the next Tanner for his next adventure.

Another great read
This series has just sucked me in. Whenever I finish one, I get a little sad that I’m closer to the end of the series. Always look forward to the next one.

A tad outlandish, but that is what fiction can be. This book is 100% escapist story. Looking forward to # 29
