ALT In the savage streets of 1979 New York City, survival isn’t luck — it’s skill. Diego De La Cruz isn’t your typical hero. He’s a broke East Village taxi driver by night, a hardened Martial Arts fighter by blood, and a street soldier by necessity. His tools of the trade? Hardwood Kali sticks, iron fists, and a homemade 24-inch stainless steel chain he calls a keychain but swings like a warning. and a code of honor carved out of pain. From the back alleys of Alphabet City to the unforgiving courts of West 4th Street, Diego fights for respect, loyalty, and survival — in a world where one wrong move gets you buried. This isn’t just a story. It’s war on concrete. Welcome to 1979 NYC — raw, violent, and unfiltered. Stay Tuned for Book 1 coming out this summer.
