This is the story that became Six Million Dollar Man, which I have never seen.

The story was interesting, a man is badly injured and get bionic limbs and other parts such as ribs, parts of his skull, and eye.

The majority of this story is about the main character, Steve Austin (not Stone Cold) coming to terms with not being a "whole man", yet this journey is missing from the book. Its very superficial. The first half lends itself to being more literary fiction but the depth is missing.

The second half closely resembles James Bond stories but not as good.

It was okay. A condensed version would be a better read
Amusing men's action-adventure fluff with a technological superman used in pedestrian adventures.

Cyborg est le roman de Martin Caidin qui a donné naissance à la fameuse série "L'Homme qui valait 3 milliards". Ce roman met en scÚne un pilote de l'armée, Steve Austin, transformé en cyborg pour des missions à haut risque. Il est intéressant dans le sens ou il pose la question des interfaces hommes-machines, mais aussi dans l'acceptation de la machine dans les processus humains.

Une lecture agrĂ©able mĂȘme si ce n'est pas de la haute littĂ©rature.
