Diane Duane

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.

20/2022 – ⭐️⭐️⭐️

A strong end to Duane’s Rihannsu series – though it does begin in media res, and as it has been years since I read the preceding book(s), it took me a bit to regain familiarity with some of the characters. Her take on the Romulans, while very different than that explored by the official canon, is very strong and well worth reading.
