When a secret surfaces, it leads a determined trio of men to pursue Tanner. Not to kill him, but to capture him, so they can torture the assassin for answers relating to a lost fortune.
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.
I have to admit ; I am hooked . The writer has a vivid imagination which is great in all of his series. I dare not write a review specific to each book, for fear of releasing the plan or the plotting. Suffice it , to say, I introduced my wife to Remington Kane ; author extraordinaire. We both anxiously await each release. Be it Tanner series, Taken series,Caliber series, Blue Steele series, the Ocean Island series, or the Revenge series, each and everyone has been a pleasure. Riveting read, strong characters, interesting and yet not confusing or redundant(naturally with series ,one must be reminded of events leading up to) each could be a stand alone in most instances. A sincere thanks to Mr Kane for entertaining my wife and me for so many hours.
Why Ask for Trouble? Tanner is enjoying time at home when he’s offered a contract. But something seems “off”; it’s not really a contract worth his fee. A little investigating makes him think it’s a trap. Trapping the trappers becomes his quest— a quest that entertains the reader. Meanwhile at home, a new deputy promises an exciting future story.
Tanner finds that he’s getting restless and about that time of contract comes his way. Something about it though doesn’t feel right and he starts doing his own investigating so challenged. Is he with this? He thinks it’s a way to catch him. He’s going all in on it. In the meantime, Henry is becoming more wary of the new police officer Chris. Things are starting to heat up.
Will they never learn to leave well enough alone. Tanner finds himself a little bored and decides to take a job he knows might be a trap. The fun starts there and races on,to the end. We also get a little bit of a mystery with new comer Chris. I think real soon he's going to be taught a lesson. Be up for the challenge, because the game is on and Tanner is the hunter!
I love this series as well as being g a fan of Remington Kane for several years. The Tanner stories have everything from love and murder and mystery. I recommend this as a must read for one of the best series ever written.
Three criminals, who got scammed out of mega millions from a con killed by Tanner, hire a former bounty hunter who uses ingenuity & intelligence instead of fighting & firearms to catch him & give up the money's location. But… can he outsmart Tanner?
This is rapidly becoming a favorite character of mine. This edition was a bit gamer than the others I read, but it did seem to "stretch" Tanner's resourcefulness. Keep them coming!
