The Moon and the Desert

By: Robert E. Hampson

Narrated by: Roman Howell

What would it really take to make the Six Million Dollar Man? A medical thriller on earth and in space!

Glenn Armstrong Shepard had his sights set on going to Mars as a flight surgeon, but a training accident on the Moon left him crippled. Now he has a new plan: to be fitted with bionic prosthetics and come back even stronger.

Fate and the Space Force have other plans, and Glenn is grounded. Another doctor—his ex-fiancee—takes his place, and Glenn will have to fight to prove he can be an astronaut once more. . .

A great Six Million Dollar Bionic Man story.

There were several callbacks to that old and well loved TV show, but the story itself was original and a well done exploration of the possible futures of enhanced artificial limb replacements by a man who is far more knowledgeable on the subject than the average bear. Do recommend.

A great hard scifi

I loved this book. The author has made bionics his lifes work and it shows. Set in the near future the book explores how bioscience and space exploration meet and mix
