Book 49 of 2026: Intellivore by Diane Duane.
⭐️⭐️⭐️: The Enterprise and two other ships go chasing mysterious disappearances in a little-explored region of space. A bit of a slow burn, with the baddie not really showing up until about 3/4 of the way through, but this leaves time for discussions between Picard and the other captains. Weird cover art, though, with Data looking particularly off.
