Martin Caidin

An aviation expert whose techno-thrillers gave the world the Six Million Dollar Man.

Martin Caidin was a prolific American author and aviation authority best known in science fiction for Cyborg, the novel that introduced Steve Austin and became the basis for the hit television series The Six Million Dollar Man. A pilot and aerospace expert, he brought hands-on technical knowledge to near-future techno-thrillers about cutting-edge technology and human enhancement.

Caidin specialized in plausible, hardware-rich speculation — cyborg augmentation, aviation, space — grounded in real engineering and a journalist's eye for detail. He also wrote extensively about flight and spaceflight in nonfiction. Expect grounded near-future SF, authentic technical texture, and brisk thriller pacing. His near-future techno-thrillers appear across our catalogue, and the per-book pages note the age and content details for each, so you can pick the right blend of hardware, action, and human enhancement for your taste before you begin.
