Rating: Summary: Mystery, Danger, Interstellar Chases! Emotional. Review: Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the Enterprise-D are called on to aid a science vessel captained by an old friend. They are to check out reported ship and colony disappearances in a remote, empty part of the galaxy.
Joined by a third Federation starship, they try desperately to unravel the mystery, cutting through the legends to find the truth about a powerful enemy that steals the very minds of its victims.
I have only ever read one other Trek novel, but I am glad I decided to get "Intellivore." It is edge-of-your-seat suspense that moves quickly along like a great, expanded t.v. episode.
The three captains, who take center stage, are well-written characters. You come to know and care about the two "guest captains" and hope for their success, and feel the pain of their losses.
This was a great read. I only gave it an 8 because I haven't read alot of other stories to compare it to, and because of a few odd phrases author Diane Duane had coming out of character's mouths that d
Rating: Summary: Mystery, Suspense, Probing the "Human" Condition Review: Diane Duane provided us with another good read and as always in Star Trek, probed basic themes of survival, the right to die and sacrifice in human and alien species. I was glad a new character of a female captain given responsibility as well as a Trill. More and more Star Trek is the only TV- movie- publishing enterprise that puts women and minorities in responsible positions. The second half of the story will keep you on the edge of your seat
Rating: Summary: STNG #45 Intellivore - A fairly good read! Review: Given the immense popularity and overwhelming acclaim that author Diane Duane received for "Dark Mirror," my anticipation for this numbered Star Trek The Next Generation novel was pretty high. Upon reading it though, I found the book to be good but lacking in a few areas. While Diane Duane's usual good style of writing is there where the premise is clear and executed well and the pace is steady but the characterizations are off and the overall feel of "Intellivore" is that much goes unsaid which is quite unfortunate. The cover art for this novel is pretty much standard fare for when the novel was published. The Premise: In true Star Trek fashion author Diane Duane takes the Enterprise into a no win situation when several ships and colonies mysteriously disappear into a Great Rift that is outside of Federation territory. Captain Picard leads the Enterprise and two other Federation starships to investigate this mystery and what they discover can only be described as epic in its scope... What follows from there is a fairly good numbered novel in the STNG line that I would definitely recommend to any and all fans of good Star Trek fiction despite the minor faults I earlier described. {ssintrepid}

Rating: Summary: memory lapse Review: I can't even say anything about the book because I don't remember it. Go figure....And I just read it a couple days ago. Better luck next time.
Rating: Summary: Good but not above average Star Trek tale Review: I expected to read about the Borg in this one. Looking at the cover I thought it was a Borg Sphere! Was I wrong! It's an average Star Trek adventure here, but none the less a good one. I would say to any fan to buy this one. While not a keeper it's better than the one called Dyson's Sphere. Diane Duane always writes a solid story and this one is one of them.

Rating: Summary: Extremly boring. Review: I found Intellivore to be one of the worst Star Trek books I have ever read. It went way to slowly. I skipped half the book and I still knew what was going on. I'm sorry but that's my opinion
