Which Trek book has in it (possible spoilers)?

[JWolf]

I do know the answer so this is just a trivia question.

Which Star Trek book has in it a one-horned one-eyed flying purple people eater?

 

[Christopher]

I'm gonna guess either Gulliver's Fugitives or something by Peter David.

You did get the author correct, but not the book. Keep guessing.

 

[Thrawn]

Dark Allies.

And, though I am ashamed to admit it, I didn't get the joke until you mentioned it.

 

[JustKate]

If I end up humming that song the rest of the day, somebody's gonna pay. I don't know how and I don't know who, but somebody. Aaaaauuurrrgh!

I'm sort of joking, but only sort of.

 

[captcalhoun]

a what now?

Whichever one I end up writing next.

 

[Christopher]

All my life I've been wondering: is that a purple eater of people or an eater of purple people? (And the question gets exponentially more complex as you move back through the adjectives...)

 

[JustKate]

^ Ah, yes - the eternal riddle of cumulative adjectives vs. serial adjectives. Some hyphens or commas might have saved you some puzzlement, Christopher.

Dark Allies in the New Frontier series. It attacks when Selar has her baby.

ETA: Helps if I scroll down and see that someone's already answered it. *sigh*

Well in the film it was purple...

 

[Christopher]

Ahh, but the two conditions are not mutually exclusive. It could be a purple eater that only eats purple people.

 

[William Leisner]

But does it have to eat purple people exclusively? Anteaters eat other insects, after all...

 

[Christopher]

^So maybe it eats the occasional purple cow? Perhaps that's why we've never seen one... and why the poet would rather see than be one.

 

[David cgc]

I could've sworn that Paris refers to an alien race as "purple people eaters" in a Voyager story, either a SNW, Seven of Nine, or the Section 31 novel.

 

[Trent Roman]

Such a species would seem at home in an Adventure of Captain Proton! (though, of course, we'd have to take their word that the people and/or eaters are indeed purple).

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

Since this is our trivia round - in which book is Picard forced to eat progressively more disgusting meals as part of a diplomatic mission?

If memory serves, that was Dragon's Honor by Greg Cox & Kij Johnson.

 

[JoeZhang]

Correct.

Next?
