Watchers
Ever get the feeling that you're being watched?
Thief Lana doesn't worry about things like that, because her cloaker can keep her from being seen. But out there, in the far reaches of the universe, there are entities far more sinister than any police officer or security system.
And they are watching.
And none of Lana's tech can hide her from them...
Watchers is a story in three parts:

It is the year 227 Post Unification, and the Earth governed sector of the galaxy is awash with tales of a mysterious crime spree. Possessions of the rich keep disappearing. There are no signs of entry. No DNA trace. No audit entry in the security system's log. Just a lot of empty safes.
Some think it is a government conspiracy.
Some think it is aliens.
In fact, it is a woman called Lana, who likes to wear sensible shoes.
But now a wealthy businessman has tracked her down, and he has a lucrative job offer for her. Just a short, interstellar trip aboard his bulk capable yacht, to steal a mysterious package, and she will be rich beyond her dreams. The problem is, Lana's activities have also drawn the attention of others, and now they are on the hunt, seeking revenge, seeking justice, seeking blood.

Lana is back to her old tricks, stealing from the rich to give to...well, to give to herself really. And once again she has drawn the wrong kind of attention, this time from sleazy casino owners and small-time drug dealers...not to mention self proclaimed 'survival' experts, who have an unhealthy obsession with sniper rifles.
It is now up to Chris and Dunc to find and save the young thief, before she makes one final, fatal mistake.
Meanwhile, General Anders of the Special Defence Force is on an urgent mission. A thousand, innocent people are dead, killed when their liner is ambushed in deep space. The motive is elusive, as are the identities of those who committed the atrocity. What is clear, however, is that Anders' former commanding officer, a certain General Thyrod, is somehow involved, and that a strange, alien artefact lies at the heart of the mystery.
Aided by his unorthodox ship and crew, Anders must now solve the crime before more innocent lives are lost.

Lana was most definitely not the "chosen one".
The universe had certainly not awaited her arrival since the dawn of time. The universe did not care. She did not, after all, take up very many atoms in the grand scheme of things.
No, Lana had simply been the wrong person, in the wrong place, and at the wrong time. And because of this, she now felt it was down to her to save the day...and the galaxy...and all the life within. The trouble was, much of this said life, including giant insects full of religious zeal, passive-aggressive crime lords and cyborgs with anger management issues, all wanted to take the life from her.
And to cap it all off, her dreams were being haunted by the only person she had ever killed. This was not improving her mood.
Maybe it would be better to just let everyone die. At least then she could get some peace.
