      Agent 47 might be the best assassin the Agency has ever had, but he'll need all of his skill, cunning, and ruthlessness if he is to survive his toughest assignment yet. Since the devastating conclusion of Hitman: Blood Money, Agent 47 has been MIA. Now fans awaiting the return of the blockbuster video-game and film phenomenon can pinpoint the location of the world's most brutal and effective killer-for-hire before he re-emerges 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 to tear it off and annihilate anyone who stands in his way.

When information vital to Britain's national security is stolen, both M and Bond suspect that the Union is behind it.

      Dal regista di Alba Rossa e sceneggiatore di Apocalypse Now, un romanzo che sconvolgerà ogni vostra convinzione sull’ordine del mondo! E’ l’anno 2025. L’America, indebolita dalla depressione economica e dalla rovina socio-politica delle Guerre del petrolio, si trova nella peggiore situazione che il Paese abbia mai vissuto. Inoltre, dall’altra parte del Pacifico emerge una nuova minaccia: la Corea, recentemente unificata sotto la tirannide del figlio di Kim Jong-il, ha cominciato a espandersi e a prepararsi per l’invasione degli Stati Uniti! Quella che era un tempo la più grande potenza mondiale cade in pochissimo tempo ma è a quel punto che ha inizio la resistenza. Il reporter Ben Walker rinasce sotto lo pseudonimo di Voce della Libertà e trasmette notizie e informazioni sulla posizione dei nemici alle cellule della resistenza civile tramite la radio ufficiale della guerriglia. Contro la resistenza americana i coreani sguinzagliano il loro più letale agente per scongiurare il sorgere di una nuova guerra per la libertà del popolo americano. Homefront La voce della Libertà è stato scritto a quattro mani, da John Milius e Raymond Benson.
