About the author
Remington Kane
260 books135 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.

A fun, fast, no brainer read about Tanner (number 7). A trip to Las Vegas for a job involves him with mobster hit men and a vigilante rogue cop. Tanner character reminds me so much of the Mack Bolan character from Don Pendleton's novels of the 80's. An assassin with his own set of values.
While it's the third of this particular series, it really doesn't build upon the earlier novels enough for the reader to be "lost".

This fills my Mack Bolan void.

Young Tanner has come into his own
Another one bites the dust, & another one & another one… Tanner always gets his target with ice cold efficiency yet while offering compassion to people & situations when most any other person never would.
Can't remember all the characters & backgrounds from the series, but Det. Sabrina totally caught my attention wonder was she connected to one of the Tanner stories later in his life…definitely like to know her better.

It's a hot time in the city!
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! This was one really good read. The fact that we find our hero pulled into a job he doesn't want is just plain crazy but it makes for good reading. The story only gets better has we get deeper in and find out something else is going on under the surface. The writing as usual is just outstanding and the action is spot on. This was a very good reading experience.

Wonderful!
Tanner is such a fun, exciting and truly moving guy! The books are great with Mobs, good guys helping others and giving some of the bad/good people a much needed second chance.

Good escapist reading
Who'd a thunk that an Assassin could be a pretty nice guy?, Tanner is a killer of bad people that the police can't or won't prosecute. Sort of like a one man Sanitation Department.

A look into Tanners past.
It was a good story. Looking back at the past Tanner was helping people long before returning to New York.

Great Story
What can I say? A genius writing by an awesome author... Again! Hollywood should definitely turn Tanner into a television series.
