so much darker than his previous books... if I didn't know better (i.e., I was reading it when it was first published) I would say this is the end of McGee. And in some ways, it is. ( )

It was okay, though not very much like a Travis McGee novel. The protagonist infiltrates a cell of religious extremist terrorists to avenge a woman who is fridged early in the story, culminating in an action sequence more befitting a Rambo movie than a mystery novel. It's unbelievable how quickly the terrorists accept him into their ranks, and the tone of the book suffers whiplash near the end. ( )

McGee's investigation into the suspicious death of his most recent lover leads him to search for a mysterious religious cult in northern California, which turns out to be a front for a massive terrorist organization. Pretty grim stuff here, and his friend Meyer's gloomy predictions (a frightening number of which have come to pass since the book's 1979 publication date) don't help the overall downer tone. ( )

A sequel to Empty Copper Sea, Trav is investigating the unusual death of Gretel. He gets involved in a huge terrorism group and must fight his way out. ( )

If you happen to pick it up first, The Green Ripper (1979) is fine on its own, but its incredibly violent final act shocks those of us who started from the beginning. It takes someone we know and it pushes him so far beyond his known limits that it's breathtaking.
