Publisher's summary
Regret can follow people everywhere - even out into deep space, in the shadow of a dying star.
When the Doctor, Liv and Helen meet the terrified crew of a space station, all are haunted by faces from the past. But these lost loves are more than mere memories - and they want to feed...
Plot
The Doctor, Liv and Helen arrive at the bridge of a Becoming space station on alert. Rica appears to Three, unseen by anybody else, and bites his neck; Fifteen tells the Doctor, Liv and Helen that the same thing has happened to thirteen other people and that all of them are now dead.
Three is frozen and driven back when the light of a nearby white dwarf makes a shadow in the shape of a cross, making the Doctor believe that they are indeed dealing with vampires. He goes with Fifteen to find wood to make stakes, learning that Fifteen believes that the vampires take the form of the victims' first loves on the way, whilst Liv tries to find a way to inoculate everybody. Helen helps Liv by finding setosol and Jean appears to her and bites her.
The Doctor and Fifteen make stakes out of a wooden double bass. When Three loses control and his body starts throwing out contaminants, Fifteen stakes him and he crumbles to dust. The Doctor, who has already seen the Realist, decides to offer himself to the vampires to draw them out. Liv sees Petko, who died back on Kaldor and whom she had hoped to explore the universe with; before he can bite her, the Doctor brings her to her senses by breathing on her after consuming garlic tablets.
