From REMINGTON KANE, the author of the Young Guns Series TANNER: YEAR TWO - A Tanner Series Novel Tanner stumbles across a gang intent on committing a major robbery and comes to the aid of a little girl. Meanwhile, the failed security chief of Tanner's last target is determined to hunt him down and make him pay. Caught between two groups out to kill him, Tanner must outsmart them both while keeping his young charge safe.
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.
Another short, fun, no brainer read from Remington Kane.
This one finds Tanner taking a contract on a drug kingpin that has run afoul of the mob. Tanner then gets involved with a plan to steal millions from an armored car facility.
Certainly won't win any literary awards but it was fun to read and didn't take a lot of thought to follow the plot.
It's Mad! Mad! Mad! World!. This was one of the best books in the young Tanner series from the beginning to the very end. This started out so serious ,because of the job Tanner accepts and then turns out that the are several things at play and a very lot of angry people in pursuit of him. The writer brings us along for the ride that's not only fast but so interesting that you can't put this story down. I just love the action,the confidence that Tanner has and the situations he finds himself in. Also you are in for a.treat we get our first look at character from the Tanner books and its so sweet.
Once again, Remington Kane takes us back in time to the second year of Tanner’s amazing career. Making a “present” for the reader of the past, Tanner is still in his infancy as an assassin and must prove himself by eliminating a man who has offended the wrong people. As usual, nothing is ever simple for Tanner, who finds bad guys chasing him and he interrupts a robbery plot in progress. Can he escape his pursuers, stop a robbery, and save a damsel in distress? Sounds like a lot - even for Tanner.
Another great non stop action of Tanner in his second year and using his skill taught by his mentor Spenser. Mr Kane never disappoints with his story line and once again Tanner is put to many tests in this book into his second year of being a Tanner . Just a great series Tanner is a bit like another Robin Hood up to a point .
Remington Kane is an amazing Author and this book is terrific. It will take you on a wild and crazy ride trying to figure out what will happen next. So look forward to continue this trip with him on his next book. I highly recommend this book you will be disappointed.
Another good entry in this series. You know what you are getting when reading one of Kane’s books; lots of non-stop action, a good bad guy, etc. Tanner will never change. He is honorable and a killer. And the combination works well. Recommended.
Tanner always seems to come out on top. Such is the case in this book. It is such s pleasure to read books about an honest man who cares about others who deserve it/the innocents. Others get their just deserts.
