From School Library Journal:

YA-- This title refers to a new race of vampires, the luren, who are aliens living on Earth for hundreds of years after an accident strands them. During those years they have developed into two groups: "Residents" who consider Earth their home as well as that of the native human race, and "Tourists" who view humans as little more than a food source. When an alien space ship crashes on the moon, Titus Siddeharra, one of the "Residents," joins the exploration team to the crash site. His mission: to discover the unknown "Tourist" agent and block efforts to send a beacon to the homeworld which would call others of their blood to Earth to feed. Imaginative, involving writing will keep fans of Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's "Saint Germain" vampire character (Timescape Bks.) and Ann Rice's vampires (Knopf), up all night reading. The surprise ending adds an intriguing perspective to the adaptations of both "Tourists" and "Residents" that is satisfyingly complex.
