Summary

Steve is asked by Oscar Goldman to escort pert gymnast Tanya Breski, star of the touring Soviet troupe, during her stay in the United States. Steve's assignment turns out to be a tough one; he must deal tactfully with Tanya, who develops a schoolgirl crush on him and wants to defect, while protecting her from a subversive group which plots to do away with her--putting the blame on the United States and thus badly damaging US-USSR relations.

Novelization

"Love Song for Tanya" is one of several episodes whose storylines were combined by Mike Jahn for his Six Million Dollar Man novel, International Incidents. Jahn makes a significant change to the ending of the episode for his adaptation by having Austin kill Andre with a CO2-powered poison dart gun concealed in his bionic hand -- a weapon used by Martin Caidin's literary version of Steve Austin but omitted from the television version of the character.
