...needed the space program; a society that does not stretch its horizons will soon shrink them. The argument that we must solve all our problems on earth before venturing beyond our planet will confine us for eternity. The world will never be without problems; they will become an obsession rather than a challenge unless mankind constantly expands its vision. Columbus would never have discovered America if 15th century Europe had applied the slogan that it needed first to solve its own problems; paradoxically, these problems would have become insoluble and Europe would have suffocated in its own perplexities...

The book, as its name suggests, would write finis to Travis McGee, the perdurable, persnickety shamus whose demise, white-haired Author John Dann MacDonald once vowed, would occur after his tenth color-coded* starring role. "I keep the MS.," says the author, "as leverage on my publisher." The latest McGee, The Green Ripper, is the 18th in the Travis saga, and the best...
