Hazel Parker, severely injured and mentally unstable, lies in wait at a field hospital, as Easy Company continues to battle the tortures of the war. Catherine McCown, Elizabeth Elliot and Easy Company, are struggling, especially after the major losses of Bill Guanere and Joe Toye or others like Donald Hoobler and especially Skip Muck and Alex Penkala and most importantly, the tiny sniper Hazel Parker. Each loss pushed Easy into a darker time, a darker reality that they would ultimately have to face if they were to make the attack on Foy. They know the war is coming to a close soon, it has to be, but with the current loses and the shine of hope that is slowly dwindling, Easy barely stays afloat as they manage to fend off the town of Foy and proceed to Alsace, France. Through the ups and downs of the ending of the war Ad Astra Per Aspera follows Easy's ending to the war as well as Hazel's undying story of love and war, as well as the thoughts of the stars and the will to keep fighting even if you're hurting. ----- oc's + band of brothers characters sequel to the soldier of stars ----- started: 5 - 17- 2020 finished: n/a -- #1 in Joe Liebgott: 7/25/20 #3 in World War 2 8/3/20 #8 in Alternate History 8/3/20 #5 in HBOwar 8/3/20 #10 in Band of Brothers 8/3/20 ----- covered made by: me!! :)Complete
