An ancient predator stalks the starship Enterprise!—Intellivore is a Star Trek: The Next Generation novel by Diane Duane. It was published in April 1997, the 45th book in Pocket Books' series of numbered TNG novels, and Duane's first original full-length novel story about the TNG series.
Summary[]
- The Great Rift lies between the Sagittarius and Orion arms of the galaxy. Stars are scarce there, beyond the authority of the Federation, and legends abound of lost civilizations and of ancient monsters that prey on those who dare to venture into the vast darkness between the stars.
- When several ships and colonies mysteriously disappear into the Rift, the USS Enterprise leads an expedition to investigate various disturbing reports. Accompanied by two other Federation starships, Picard and his fellow captains discover a bizarre menace of unimaginable power. And the only way to trap this destructive entity is to use the Enterprise as bait.

Background[]
Insignia[]
The insignia used throughout TNG has its last chronological appearance in regular use here, and is replaced by a newer one in DS9 episode: "The Search". The older style TNG combadge that Jean-Luc Picard wears on the cover of this book was probably the one he put in storage upon switching to the new badge, and thus would be the one seen in PIC episode: "The Next Generation".
