So, I enjoy reading Fantasy Novels or Sci-Fi books,
Does anyone know a type of book that has
an Assassin or some kind of Hitman in it?
perhaps a setting like assassin's creed or perhaps in the future.
modern would work as well...

I, personally, enjoy the Inheritence Trilogy Series (Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, 4th book).
No guns to be found; swords, spears, pikes, bows, axes, dragons and magic only. There's a few assassin's at points, but they aren't major parts of the books.

I've got a one, It's in my book shelf. It's kinda like a futuristic hitman kinda thing.
Lemme find it.

Read all the ones by Eric Nylund, they sure are amazing.

Read all the eragon series as well, except for fourth, they are good as well.
but contain no type of assassination storyline

The book Warchild (http://www.amazon.com/Warchild-Karin-Lowachee/dp/0446610771/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) fits pretty close to your description. It's set in the space-faring future, and is about a child named Jos Musey who's home ship is destroyed; has aliens, pirates, and space soldiers. I'd say more, but I don't know how much of the story you want to be known.

Have you read the sequel? I haven't finished it but I read a bit into it and it wasn't as much assassins and aliens and fighting and mixed alliances

There's a Star Wars book out there somewhere called Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter that's all about Maul's quest to assassinate some guy for some reason I don't remember. I guess that might be like what you're looking for.

I disagree. Read a book by a good writer, and then reread halo books and compare.
I like the Dragonlance series. Geekiest name ever, but its pretty great. unfortunately, it doesn't fit your criteria of containing an assassin, but its still worth the read.
I suggest reading these books and then stop:
Trilogy one:
Dragons of autumn twilight
Dragons of winter night
Dragons of spring dawning
Trilogy two:
Time of the twins
War of the twins
Test of the twins
After this point, the focus shifts to different characters who i didn't find very interesting.
