Del Rey, part of the Random House publishing group, has announced a new book based on the Hitman franchise. Hitman: Damnation will be written by Raymond Benson, who is the author of books based on the Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell franchises.
“Taking place between games Hitman: Blood Money and the upcoming Hitman: Absolution, Hitman: Damnation follows legendary assassin Agent 47 as he attempts to complete his toughest assignment yet. 47 is charged with assassinating high-level American political figures, but he notices that some aspects of the mission don’t add up as he is plunged into a web of lies, deceit, and murder.”
Hitman Damnation will release Summer 2012. Hitman: Enemy Within was the first Hitman book, published in 2007.

new book?
implying there was an old one?
i’ve never heard of any Hitman books.
anyway.
i can’t say i’m familiar with Benson’s work, but if i spot a copy when i’ve got the spare cash i might pick it up, i have quite a few game tie in books and one more’s always welcome.

Hitman Enemy Within was the first one.

Eh, I thought the storyline for Absolution doesn’t necessarily happen after Blood Money. The way it was potrayed was as if it’s almost completely unrelated, just in the same universe.
