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.

Taken! 20...No More Mr. nice Guy. One of my Favorites by Remington Kane. It seems wrong to say The favorite knowing more masterful tales are still to come!!! Remington Kane has gathered together many familiar characters, good and evil, from this and his other series. These series have some connecting storylines and reoccurring crossovers. Mr. White entire family is the target. It's time to kill or be killed. Nothing will ever be the same. The pages couldn't turn fast enough. From page 1, reader enjoys heart pounding excitement, heart in the throat worry, tears, terror, fist in the air cheering, glee-ful smiles. A 'Remington Kane' rollercoaster of unpredictable twists and turns. I received this book as an ARC. I am voluntarily posting this review. A MUST READ!!! And Read Next...Tanner 20. It expands the 'goings on'. What else is happening during this time period. It too is glorious reading.

Start from the beginning
To really understand the people and situations you should start with the first Taken story and then roll through all twenty...back to back. And maybe you'll want to set up family trees; genealogists of the three major families could be helpful.
I enjoy Remington Kane's style and imagination. Nothing is off limits and nothing is boilerplate. Great pandemic reading! I'm on to the next series to see more of the bad guys get taken down. Thanks Mr Kane for this escape from my four walls.

Taken and Tanner
What an absolutely amazing writer. He hooks me with every book. I have only read the Taken and Tanner series but he could write these for infinity and I would drop whatever I'm doing to read the next one. I do so hope that even though he's up t 20/21 that he continues these stories. I hope they are a never ending series. Thank you Remington Kane.

Another masterpiece
I've read all Remington books taken and Tanner is by far the best series I have read every book that comes out I stop what I'm read and read those. Something when u have a long series after a while the series lose momentum but not these series I hope they never stop

I want a cameo
I would love to read a cameo featuring the women from prey house or at the very least a series on them as Samantha trains with them. Or maybe a mission for Tanner and Mr. White.

Good read
Filled on the blanks about old historystories are too short but I guess it would be too hard to sustain one long story

What about it?
The beginning was confounding to me. It has good action. Something about the book left me feeling like I missed something.

The title is an understatement.
This book had me captivated throughout. I could barely put it down. I always knew not to get on Mr. White's bad side, but when you are his enemy number 1....look out. Won't give any spoilers away but, this is definitely a must read. Actually, all his books are. Remington Kane is an amazing author. I have enjoyed all his books, and look forward to more.
