About the author
Remington Kane
251 books132 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.

Three balls in the air
This KU library read and captivating addition to the Taken! Series is set in Florida, where Jessica and her husband are vacationing. While there, Mr White is recruited to help bring down a team who have conned a friend out of hundreds of thousands of dollars and almost killed another. Jace, along with two PREY members, is sent to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl. And Summer has divorced her husband, who is now blackmailing her. Meanwhile, the search continues for Michael, the missing triplet. There are lots of balls in the air, with lots of action. And with Mr. White back and better than ever, it's a great read. I'm looking forward to the next book.

Mental masturbation at its best
This writer weaves amazing tales. I binge read because i can't get enough. Seriously, this guy is a master at writing gut wrenching, thought provoking stories. I have read many of his books and am constantly amazed at his imagination and story telling abilities. I give this book 10 stars out of 5!

Always good!
I am rating this book 5 stars because there was action, mystery and romance. This book also put me up to date on what is going on with all the characters. Jace is back, still funny, still deadly. The women of PREY are here, as well. Movie Star Handsome gets his work done as usual, and Jessica and the twins are doing fine.
In this book someone is taking runaway teens and drafters, they have all gone missing. Jace and two of the women of PREY find out what is going on. Dr White helps as well. Her husband is sent on another mission for Lawson. I really enjoy the storytelling by this author. I am sure you will like it too.
