Travis McGee & Me is D. R. Martin’s book-by-book personal take on the famous boat bum hero created by John D. MacDonald. The twenty-one McGee novels have been continuously in print since their original publication dates, from 1964 to 1985. Not only have they been tremendously popular with readers, they have inspired generations of crime fiction writers.

These essays are partly book reports, and partly Martin’s analyses of McGee and his adventures. They originally appeared—sometimes in slightly different versions—in Martin’s blog, Travis McGee & Me.
