A Novel by Deejay Labao
When Airman First Class Antonio Peñaranda's aircraft is shot down over war-torn Germany, survival becomes more than instinct - it becomes a test of conscience.
Stranded behind enemy lines during the final, brutal months of World War II, Antonio must navigate forests crawling with patrols, shattered railways, and a collapsing Reich determined to silence him. But escape is only the beginning. As he joins forces with a wounded American soldier, a fearless resistance fighter, and a German pilot who dares to defy his own command, the line between enemy and ally begins to blur.
Hunted by one of the Nazi regime's most brilliant and relentless strategists, Antonio discovers that this war is not fought by weapons alone - but by choices. Every decision carries consequence. Every act of mercy carries risk.
In a world where loyalty is demanded and humanity is punished, one airman must decide what kind of man he will be when the sky falls and the ground offers no refuge.
A1C is a gripping World War II thriller about survival, betrayal, redemption, and the courage to choose honor when the world demands obedience.
Because sometimes the greatest act of defiance... is mercy.
