Who wrote the novel "Cyborg" that "The Six Million Dollar Man" TV show was based on?

Martin Caidin (September 14, 1927 – March 24, 1997) was an American author and an authority on aeronautics and aviation.

Caidin began writing fiction during 1957, and authored more than 50 fiction and nonfiction books, as well as more than 1,000 magazine articles. His best-known novel is "Cyborg", which was the basis for "The Six Million Dollar Man" franchise. He also wrote numerous works of military history, especially concerning aviation.

Caidin was credited in episodes of the original "The Bionic Woman" series, a "Six Million Dollar Man" spinoff, but not in the 2007 remake of "The Bionic Woman".

Years later, Caidin would reference bionics, in a satirical manner, for his novel "Buck Rogers: A Life in the Future", an adaptation of "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" in which Rogers is given bionic parts after being revived from his centuries-long coma.
