About the author

Martin Caidin was a prolific and controversial writer. Most of his work centered around the adventures of pilots and astronauts. A number of his books were notable for their reasonable, realistic predictions of then-futuristic technology.

Caidin's body of work 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.

Caidin began writing fiction in 1957. In his career he 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.

In addition to his writing Caidin was a pilot and active in the restoration and flying of older planes.

He intentado conocer un poco más sobre la editorial Rota Tiva, pero no he encontrado mucho en línea sobre ellos, pero definitivamente su colección es valiosa, extrañamente todos los libros que tengo de dicha editorial me han costado individualmente menos de 50 pesos. Un auténtico tesoro.
Ahora, sobre este libro, escrito en la guerra fría con noticias constantes sobre nuevas armas de destrucción masiva, hoy en día olvidamos que todas estás armas siguen ahí, pero la perspectiva de estar ahí mientras se desarrollaban, el miedo constante de que el mundo terminara y novedosas formas de poner fin a la vida de manera masiva. Hay muchísimas líneas de este libro que son atemporales, la naturaleza de estos objetos no cambiará jamás y tampoco desaparecerán de nuestras vidas.
