Survive The Night
by Spencer Anderson
Survive The Night
Spencer Anderson’s story, Survive the Night, begins in January 1944 and follows fictional character, Gus Bodine, a 20-year-old who joined the U.S. Army Air Corps as a B-17 pilot, and Addie, his wife back home. Bodine quickly finds himself going from living the American dream to being shot down and becoming a prisoner of war forced to endure the 86-day “Death March” across Germany during the harshest winter ever recorded in the country.
Survive the Night recalls the tragedy of the German death march of more than 10,000 American and allied POWs through 900 miles of mountainous forests and war-torn lowlands of Germany. Though the march was a tragic stain on our world’s history, Survive the Night is full of tender moments, happy outcomes, and the antics of Highway the dog.

Michael J. McFarland, Avid Reader –
As a fan of Spencer Anderson’s War Bird Trilogy, I am hooked on his books. I can’t wait to get a copy. It is another page turner that will appeal to everyone who reads it. He builds a story that appeals to everyone, both male and female, veteran or historian. His stories teach not just the history of the wars or adventure, but the people who are involved. There will be a great love story, along with great lessons of family relationships and life’s lessons. I will never forget the night my wife started to read ‘Avenging Angel: A Pilot’s Story.’ She was shocked to find she could not stop reading. She thought she would never like a book about wars and airplanes. Fooled her! I can only say, if you don’t love to read, you should not start one of Spencer’s books, because it will change your life. I, on the other hand, love to read, and have read many of the best novel authors in the country, and I truly believe Spencer Anderson is among them.
