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.

Really enjoyed this one! After the murder of his friend in the last book, Tanner is after the mob! One after another, or more like large groups of them at a time, Tanner takes his revenge out in clever ways. The price on his head just keeps going up!
At the same time, another person is also seeking revenge on the mob. Someone they think is dead.

Rollercoaster of bloody justice
A gripping tale of wrongs avenged, not righted. For one can never restore life to those taken from us, whom we've loved. A verifiable one-man army returns, eliminating those who have done, or would seek to do irreparable damage to us, our loved ones, and the innocents

A relationship ends and another begins. And Tanner is on his own again. As the story continues Tanner gets an ally, he just doesn’t know it. The Feds, the Cartel and poor Joe Pullo. Poor Sammy. There couldn’t be more excitement , suspense and adventure. I just couldn’t put my book down!

It didn’t have an ending
The book never made sense. A book should not expect that readers have read previously written books and this book basically expected me to have read a previous book.
The ending was just to get a person to buy a book. I do not recommend.

I'm hooked on the tanner books but they are so short I'm finishing them in one or 2 sessions & I'm dyslexic so go slower than many people. They are great for action junkies

Another good one!
Things are changing for Tanner, but there is still so much action and adventure! I enjoy how twisty these books are and how things tie together.

Killing Tree?
Tanner keeps the killing tree going again. Plenty of planning for this guy to clean things up once again. Onto Mexico!

Ballet Of Death (a Tanner novel #9)
Tanner is on his way back to New York city after he and Sammy had completed their mission in Tennessee. When he checks in with Joe, he finds out that the cartel has bombed Laurel's home, almost killing Sammy in the process; thinking Tanner was still with Laurel. A path of vengeance begins, the bounty on Tanner goes higher, but the Russians are out, now it's the Mexican cartel. An enemy Tanner (Cole Parker) is intimately familiar with. They were responsible for killing his family many years ago. Can't wait to see if you want to get to the end of the story as much as I do. Thanks for another great read.

I left and came back ---great read
I left Tanner for a little bit because the books are sometimes too intense -like the tv show 24-. On my return from my break, Tanner is still -single-handedly - taking out the bad guys --- but I'm hooked again .This is a quick read, filled with action and violence.

Love this series
These books are fantastic. I don't want them to end. I'm so grateful I found this series and a new author to follow in Kane. I love Kay Scarpetta, Bosch, Jericho and Jonathan Quinn, Lincoln Rhyme, Will Robe... Tanner is becoming my favorite!
