About this ebook

The clone assassin has been played long enough—now it’s more than a game.

Bred to kill, Agent 47 is The Agency’s most valuable assassin. So when a competing murder-for-hire organization decides to destroy The Agency, the first person they target for elimination is Agent 47. Tasking someone to off the best hitman in the business is one thing; getting the job done is another. When the attempt falls short, Agent 47 is ordered to track down and kill the culprit who is feeding vital information about The Agency to its enemies.

Agent 47 must follow a bloody trail halfway around the world, fight his way through the streets of Fez, Morocco, and battle slavers deep inside Chad. Then he will discover a shattering truth: If he fails at his mission, the price he’ll pay will be far greater than his own life. . . .

Ratings and reviews

Reads nice and all but, 47 does not feel like 47. He's portrayed as closer to normal than he should be. 47 is a hard character to be original to, but the author strayed to much.

I've been hunting this book for days and finally stumbled upon it here. It's very well written, has good balance and is, overall, a great read. Now, to find Hitman: Damnation!!

As a Hitman fan from the games it just made sense that I fell in love with the book. Heart pounding action, cold calculated precision and that strange unease that is agent 47. If you even enjoyed one of the games read this book.
