by Derek Stockton (a.k.a. Murad Sayen)
This is the story about a WWII German fighter pilot as told by a Viet Nam veteran who reconstructs the era by reading the journals that he left behind. The story is one of love and conflict, courage and dignity, a book that is hard to put down. Rich with imagery and passion, it is a remarkable first novel.

"I was one of those readers who read Above and Beyond in two nights. It's been a long time since I've found a book that I enjoyed reading as much as this one."
Mikaela Rosenblad, Atlanta, Georgia
"It is a story about being true to ourselves..... Integrity, even in wartime, is what allows us to be at peace with ourselves. The memory of this story comes back to me again and again...."
Kathryn Sky, Durango, Colorado
"A very good read! Derek Stockton has cooked up a fine story by combining adventure, history, wisdom and love, then seasoning it with his keen insight into the human condition."
Dr. Scott Satler, Eureka, California
"An absolute must for those of us who still have lingering questions about how sixty-eight million German people could be hoodwinked by Adolf Hitler. Stockton's depth of knowledge and his research into the thirties in Germany and WWII aviation are quite stunning."
Heinrich Nagel, Munich, Germany
