Martin Caidin was contracted by TSR to do his own interpretation of
the original Buck Roger's story. Taking elements from the original
strips he tried to do too much with too little. Compressing nearty 20
years of stories into a few hundred pages caused bits and peices to be
left out here and there leaving the reader wanting. His reimagination
of characters and circumstances created a wholey different story, that
had no real connection with the Nolan books or strips. As a
completest, I read through this comparing it to the other version and
felt disappointed. Caidin who created the idea for The Six Million
Dollar Man, Is generally considered a good writer. In reading Cyborge
I enjoyed his work. With Buck Rogers: Life in the Future, I'm afraid
he missed the mark.
