Description by OLDIES.com:

Before Hiro on Heroes, there was Steve Austin - The Six Million Dollar Man. Before Buffy Summers on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, there was Jaime Sommers - The Bionic Woman. Now, television's classic wonder people of the 1970s are back and stronger than ever in - The Bionic Book: The Six Million Dollar Man And The Bionic Woman Reconstructed, written by best-selling author Herbie J. Pilato (Bewitched Forever, The Kung Fu Book of Caine).

Co-billed as The Cybernetic Compendium To TV's Most Realistic Sci-Fi Superhero Shows, The Bionic Book is chock full of commentary culled from Pilato's exclusive interviews with Bionic stars Lee Majors (who played half-superman/half-mechanical marvel Steve Austin), Lindsay Wagner (Jaime Sommers - Steve's female counter-part and one true love), series creator (and science fiction novel icon) Martin Caidin, executive producer Harve Bennett (who would later help to ignite the Star Trek feature film franchise), producer/director Kenneth Johnson (The Incredible Hulk and Alien Nation) and actor Richard Anderson, the latter of whom portrayed Oscar Goldman - Steve and Jaime's stoic but understanding supervisor on both shows (and who has penned the book's foreword).

Much more than a mere TV trivia guide, The Bionic Book explores in-depth the social, psychological, medical and scientific influence, appeal and message behind two of the most popular and heroic science fiction television programs of all time.
