About this ebook

THE OFFICIAL, ALL-ORIGINAL, ALL-OUT THRILLING PREQUEL TO THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED NEW GAME HITMAN: ABSOLUTION
 
Since the devastating conclusion of Hitman: Blood Money, Agent 47 has been MIA. Now fans awaiting the return of the blockbuster videogame and film phenomenon can pinpoint the location of the world’s most brutal and effective killer-for-hire before he reemerges in Hitman: Absolution. When the Agency lures him back with a mission that will require every last ounce of his stealth, strength, and undercover tactics, they grossly underestimate the silent assassin’s own agenda. Because this time, Agent 47 isn’t just going to bite the hand that feeds him. He’s going tear it off and annihilate anyone who stands in his way.

Ratings and reviews

I already bought the paperback edition of this book. The satirization in this book is really strong, although the story itself doesn't have any correlation to the game version. Still, this one is absolutely good.

The climax draws you way in, 47 is exactly as I thought, and they strung emotion in excellently. If you like Hitman, read it. If you don't, you won't understand the subtle references to the games, but its still exciting and we'll written

I really got into the last 100+ pages. The story was really good, and I thoroughly enjoyed it start to finish.
