CHANGING TIMES
From REMINGTON KANE, author of the GALLO & DANTE novels
CHANGING TIMES - A TANNER NOVEL - Book 64
After a long period of inactivity, Tanner finally receives a contract he believes would be a fitting end to his remarkable career as a trained assassin.
The contract comes from an unusual source, and the target is just as unusual, being that the world believes the man, a legendary leader of terrorists, was put down decades earlier.
After being offered proof that the man lives, Tanner accepts the contract. He did so with one condition; he would have three months to devise a plan.
Those hiring him accepted his condition, and with much gratitude, for they saw no way for anyone to kill the target, yet knew Tanner had a reputation as a miracle worker. Tanner had always prevailed where others would have perished, but this time he meets his greatest challenge, and he insists on doing so alone.
He knows he’ll either survive, thus cementing his reputation as the greatest assassin of all time, or perish in the attempt. A sad end to an illustrious career. And either way, win or die, this will be his last contract.

About the author
Remington Kane
252 books127 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.

It's the first 3 star review I've given this series
I still love the series however the for Tanners final contract the antagonist was beyond cliché. Even though the letters were swapped for the last name I'm sure I'm not the only one who read them the other way. It should've either been the name or someone completely different and I found this rather disappointing. Also with the last few books there's been huge time jumps but no mention of how long between books. It would be nice to know at the beginning how much time has passed. Other than that it was a short book but fit alot of action and had multiple storylines. I'm curious how the final book will unfold but hopefully better than this one. It would also be nice to get updates on the rest of the tanner universe in the final (ie, blue steel, Jessica and Mr White etc)

December 16, 2025Remington Kane delivers a fitting finale to Cody Parker/Tanner 7. In Changing Times, Tanner—an aging assassin—accepts one last impossible contract against a legendary terrorist thought dead for decades. The story balances suspense with reflection, showing Tanner’s determination to finish his career on his own terms. We also see Henry, Tanner 8, take on his greater challenge proving he is worthy of being a Tanner. It’s a fast-paced thriller with the trademark tension Kane is known for, but also carries a sense of closure and poignancy as Tanner faces his greatest challenge. Fans of the series will appreciate the mix of action and finality, making this a satisfying conclusion to Tanner 7.
Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
A changing of the guard takes place as we get a comparison of three assassins: two at the end of their careers and one at the start. Cody/Tanner wants one last big contract to finish off his life as a Tanner and he gets one with some added distractions and cool toys. The other retiree kidnaps a reporter and works with a nefarious group before he is confronted by Henry/Tanner who outdoes himself in body count as he starts his new life as Tanner 8. I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher and voluntarily provided an honest review.

The last Hurrah for Tanner Seven
The book was delightful as are all the Tanner adventures. I look forward to many, many more. Henry successfully took on a lot of combatants and proved he was more than ready to be Tanner Eight. In the meantime Tanner Seven took on his last challenge as “the” Tanner and successfully completed his last Tanner challenge before retiring. Ig ix an excellent book that explains in great detail how each man met and succeeded in completing their contracts.

Amazing as always
I love the entire series, even the very beginning. I'm glad there will be more for Cody. I'm very excited to see what he will do in the future. I also hope there will be some books about Henry and his role as Tanner 8!

Great story and lots of action
Mr Kane has given another tale of intrigue and excitement. Never a dull moment. Thinking of started the whole series over again. Won't be as exciting but I like the storyline. Very satisfying.

Same stuff
Tanner always wins , regardless of the odds. But he always finds some new way of doing it. That is what makes his story always interesting.
