Vigilance

by Paul Ruditis

Published 1 December 2005
It bothers Agent Sydney Bristow's conscience that too often her job asks her to work with criminals she would much rather put away. She understands the logic - the lesser of two evils approach is all too familiar to her - but that doesn't make it any easier to accept. Someone else disagrees. APO's more dubious contacts are being assassinated, with only a calling card depicting a black star with the number thirteen in its centre for a lead. When it becomes clear that a lethal, highly trained vigilante organisation is interfering with APO's missions, Sydney must put aside her empathy and help shut down these mysterious "13 Stars". But when Sydney herself is mistaken for a freelance terror agent, she worries that the mistake is not so far from the truth. And now that she's marked, both her cover and welfare are in immediate jeopardy...

But things don't go quite as planned. A government agency interferes with APO's mission; Sydney is forced to ingest a dose of the drug and commanded to turn on her APO counterparts; Dixon is taken hostage; and someone believed to be an ally turns out to be more foe than friend....
