- Several years before publishing the first Steve Austin novel, Cyborg, Caidin featured bionics in a speculative science fiction novel entitled The God Machine (1968). Caidin's canon was prolific and varied, ranging from additional speculative/SF novels such as Marooned, which was made into an acclaimed film and considered a harbinger of the Apollo 13 accident, to a novel based upon the character Indiana Jones. He also wrote many non-fiction books about science, aviation and warfare, including several co-written with Jay Barbree who would write the SMDM novelization Pilot Error.

He also wrote many non-fiction books about science, aviation and warfare, including several co-written with Jay Barbree who would write the SMDM novelization Pilot Error. Despite the changes made to his characters, he enjoyed his association with the program enough to be a guest star during the show's final season. Caidin also received screen credit on the original The Bionic Woman series, due to the inclusion of characters originating in Cyborg. Years later, Caidin wrote Buck Rogers: A Life in the Future, an updated retelling of the pulp hero's origins. In the novel, Caidin has Rogers revived in the 25th Century with some of his body parts replaced by advanced bionics -- and the book includes several subtle references to Steve Austin as a result.
