About the author
Remington Kane
250 books131 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.

Fantastic!
The writer as always has come up with a way to keep the series not only fresh but to keep interesting. We get to see some old acquaintances and a couple of new friends. Also the tension between Tanner and Sara adds just enough element to keep you guessing on which direction they will go. Not to mention this new friendship between. Alexa and Deke is probably cause to blink a time.or two. The action as always along with the plan is just so good you expect something other world every time. The chemistry is like a lazy river it just keeps going at a pace that puts you on even keel. The characters are being fleshed out more so we can get to see more than just the working side and it is what makes the story complete.

Can't get enough
Tbe Tanner sires is my new favorite soap opera/ obsession, Ever book is awesome and all alway haves twists and turns I don't see coming, and back-up plan after back-up plan. I love that Sara is back and on tanner's side. I love that even when tanner tells you his plan but he always does something different like I said back-up plan after back-up plan. Can't wait for the next episode!!!!!

'Occupation Death' was a fantastic addition to a very good series. The story line was full of action, deceit, thrills, great characters and surprises. Tanner is still the perfect lead, as much as an assassin can be. His take on certain circumstances and characters still amazes me. He's damn sure the best at what he does. I can't wait to read more. Definitely a must add to your tbr list. Highly recommended.

Another Tanner adventure with distractions and killings
Having read all of the previous Tanner novels, I expected the same rousing story, with twists and turns and lots of murder victims. I was not disappointed

Occupation: Death. Book 12
I didn’t find book 12 to be as interesting or satisfying. The storyline does set up to create more interesting relationships, and work that are in the next book.

Awesome books
I have read the Tanner series and enjoyed the " adventures" of the books. Very hard to put down, fast moving, sometimes not very predictable, which is a "good thing", looking forward for more in the series. Keep it going.
Thank You

Tanner, the hit man, is hired to kill a man who cannot be killed. Tanner figures out the target has body doubles.

Alexa or Sara
Enjoyable reading with plenty of fast-paced action! Although Sara is back, she comes with a different attitude than before. This time she's looking to be allies with Tanner instead of trying to kill him-much to Alexa's dismay.

Super hero. Kills non-stop. Those who like to read a book about two dead people stand, without any content. This is the book for him.
Truth is I read 2 other books in the past and they were OK.
