Our wandering space crew lands on Damphir IV, a planet inhabited by vampires, safe haven for both their undeclared passenger and their damaged ship. Ferda shares a passionate reunion with Julius Roma, her first vampire lover -- now commandant of the colony -- while Adlet finds trouble among several thousand amorous vampires.
When the colonyโs best cryonics scientists succeed in resuscitating their unregistered โcargo,โ she awakens with no memory other than a name -- Gelda. Adlet in tow, Drake, Rand, and Ferda set course for Hera and a long talk with their last customer about Geldaโs origins. Extracting such dangerous information out of a weasel like Zadde might be more than an ordinary crew would attempt -- but this isnโt an ordinary crew.
