About the author

Remington Kane

250 books131 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.

Can't finish..

And here's why: The "hero" is a cop who sits in a parking lot stalking his ex-girlfriend and her husband through binoculars. He even has a cell he built in his basement to keep her in. You gotta be fucking kidding me! She broke up with him and married some time ago and now Pierce is in love with someone else. Really? It doesn't matter that he didn't kidnap her and he started seeing a psychiatrist. The fact is I read it and that's all I can think about now. That's the worst first part of a book I've ever read.

Ally just wrote about a book that someone was "ick," in it and I can certainly agree with that. This guy was really "ick."

Besides that the narrator sucked. His female voices sounded just like the males.

Demons

In this second book of the Detective Pierce series, a young woman is missing, the policeman working the case is murdered and a vigilante is killing bikers with demon nicknames. It is all related and Det. Pierce will have to work hard to keep up, and to do the right thing. I really enjoyed this KU library read and am looking forward to book three.

He has done it again

What a terrific book. So well written and the characters are mesmerizing. So looking forward to reading the next book in this series. Remington Kane has created a fascinating star with Beau Raines. I loved every minute of this book and the way all the characters related made it so unique.

Love the characters

I love the depth of the characters in this story. The conflict between what’s right and what’s the law. Having someone find out about the detective’s dark side and what to do to fix it

Another great book by Remington Kane and another great performance by David Stifel! His narration was the reason I looked into this series. If you like murder mysteries, this is a good one! If you've read book 1 already you'll get to learn a bit more about Detective Pierce's character in this book.

Demon

Stilted would be my best description of this book. I had the impression that the author was going through the motions of documenting his thoughts about a story line and decided to call it a complete work. The characters are not truly developed in unless they were in the previous book of the series. Disappointed.

Great story with interesting characters. Detective Pierce and his fellow officers dole out justice to a cop killing motorcycle gang who kidnap young girls. They get what they deserve in the end and their judgment is harsh. Definitely worth reading. Enjoy!
