Steve Austin is a test pilot, and the experimental craft he is piloting does not land well in this case. He loses an arm, is blinded in one eye, has two legs crushed, and has some fairly serious internal and skeletal injuries.

Thanks to being an astronaut and top of the line pilot he has an advanced medical team waiting for just this sort of circumstance.

After putting him back together and getting his head a bit more right they ask him if he is interested in a program to test out some bionics - he agrees, and the work and surgery entails lots of swearing and surprises.

However, Oscar Goldman's funding of this does not come without a catch - this six million dollars and the fact that he is employed by the military and now has basically tested and proven superhuman abilities means it is covert mission time for him.

Underwater, and then into the desert in Africa to snatch a plane that has some key Russian nuclear information.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0446669865, Mass Market Paperback)

He was a wonder of scientific perfection-- but it was lonely as hell at the top. All the resources of NASA, the Pentagon, and Government Money put the pieces of Lt. Col. Steve Austin's shattered body back together again. He came out of it more perfect than human. Better than new. A deadly, unstoppable weapon. Now all he needed was to find some human emotion in the tangle of plastic, wire and atomic metal that was fused to the remains of his flesh. Basis for $6 Million Dollar Man.
