#address unknown

📱From Sam Lake's Instagram (October, 2018):

In celebration of #15yearsofmaxpayne2, a few of the many faces I wore for the TV-shows - Lords and Ladies, and Address Unknown - that we created inside the game. As you can probably tell, we had a lot of fun making these.

Poets of the Fall: PAQ

the two men remain in contact through letters. at first, the friendship does not seem to suffer from the spatial separation and the political movement in germany.

✉︎ review ✉︎

in just a few pages, the author manages to tell an exciting story that makes the change of the characters' personalities and friendship tangibly clear, as sad as those are.

an unexpecting turn makes the novel unique and memorable. kressmann-taylor reminds the reader, how fast and severe propaganda impacts people. and unfortunately, this topic is still very relevant today.
