The Bionic Book - The Six Million Dollar Man & The Bionic Woman Reconstructed (Special Commemorative Edition)

By: Pilato, Herbie J.

THE REVITALIZED CYBERNETIC COMPENDIUM TO TV'S MOST REALISTIC SCI-FI SUPERHERO SHOWS

Before various comic book multiverses expanded their franchises into epic live-action superhero movies and television shows, there was The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic William.

Now, TV's classic wonder people of the 1970s are back and stronger than ever in this "Special Commemorative Edition" of THE BIONIC BOOK: THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN AND THE BIONIC WOMAN RECONSTRUCTED. Written by award-winning author Herbie J Pilato (RETRO ACTIVE TELEVISION, TWITCH UPON A STAR), this refreshed BIONIC tome tallies revised and expanded material, including an all-new Introduction by Bionic episodic scribe Terrence McDonnell; rare photos, and commentary culled from Pilato's exclusive interviews with Bionic stars the legendary Lee Majors (who embodied the half-man/half-machine marvel Col. Steve Austin), the Emmy-winning Lindsay Wagner (who portrayed as former tennis-pro Jaime Sommers-Steve's super female counterpart and one true love); series creator and iconic science fiction author Martin Caidin (whose Cyborg novel gave birth to The Six Million Dollar Man series), executive producer Harve Bennett (who would later rescue a once-flailing Star Trek film franchise), and producer/director Kenneth Johnson (who created The Bionic Woman, the character and the series, and who later brought Alien Nation and The Incredible Hulk to TV). This cybernetic chronicle also features recollections and a Foreword by actor Richard Anderson, who played Oscar Goldman-Steve and Jaime's stoic but understanding O.S.I. government agent supervisor-and other cast and production team members from both Bionic shows. More than a mere TV trivia guide, THE BIONIC BOOK explores in-depth the social, psychological, medical, and scientific influence, appeal, and message behind The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman).
