From the aviation and science expert, and best-selling author of Marooned and The Cape, comes a novel combining a story of high adventure in the James Bond fashion, and featuring a cyborg, a unique - all man and very human, yet endowed by the latest, most secret medical advances in the science of "bionics" with extraordinary physical powers. It began for Lt. Col. Steve Austin when his experimental M3F3 dipped, stabbed and crashed against the desert floor in a tearing of metal and a blast of flame.
