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 excellent Tanner book. This goes back in time to Tanner's early years of being an assassin. In his sixth year, he has become quite seasoned and follows the Tanner rules. He accepts a new contract not realizing (at first) that his target is also his client. He has hired Tanner to kill himself but has set a trap to catch and kill Tanner. Surrounded by many bodyguards in a remote location, Tanner has his work cut out for him. And when he finds out there is a kidnapped woman in the house, he knows he must do all he can to save her also while fulfilling his contract. Can he kill his target while saving the woman? Always so interesting to see how Tanner completes his contract. Start reading early in the day because you won't want to stop until you have finished the book.
Once again we go back in time to take a look at Tanner earlier in his career. In this fast-paced story, Tanner’s client is also the target as the client is trying to trap and kill our hero as payback for Tanner having killed the client’s son. Along the way to the main event we meet a coke addict, an escort/distraction, pawnshop burglars, kidnappers, mercenaries, and many more interesting friends and foes. Never a dull moment. I received an advanced copy of this book from the author and voluntarily provided an honest review.
I enjoyed the story action (not dull) with story twists. It's getting better with love interests.
I enjoyed 'Tanner Year Six' action (not dull) with story twists. It's getting better with interests. I have recommended and will continue to tell relatives and friends all of Tanner, Mr White and his latest thriller/suspense book (latest coming later this month). Looking forward to Remington's next this month's novel.
This Tanner book is the building block of the career as Tanner changes contractors. He finds himself taking on a contract with the help of a friend and end up, saving her life with a different problem only way to go back to where he was supposed to be. Things are moving along and a steady patient than wow everything goes well and another good tanner book.
This book was very entertaining. It is always interesting to see how Tanner plans to fulfill a contract even when his carefully laid out plans sometimes go astray as in this book. Tanner could be a Canadian mounty - he always fulfills his contracts no matter the dize of the opposition.
Was expecting something different from this book. Confused , thinking that a new tanner. Would emerge but didn't happen. I've read the entire series and was disappointed in this hook
I almost gave up on this book; the first part was almost not worth reading - thankfully, the rest of the book moved quickly and was more what I expected of the Tanner series. I rate this one 4.5 stars.
