25th century or beyond. Then there would be more freedom in the story-making. No problems with continuity and such.
I'm satill of the opinion that carrying on in the novels as they were before is the best idea. The post-series DS9 books (sometimes referred to as Season
are awesome, and New Frontier is still kickin' butt and taking initials (Mackenzie Calhoun doesn't stick around long enough for names 
). It worked for Star Wars (well, up until the New Jedi order series, but let's not get into that).
I voted for the first one, but it was really a tie between that one and the "distant future." When I saw glimpses of the Federation as "time cops" in some of the series, it seemed a pretty fascinating idea.
I haven't read many of the books (don't have as much time to read as I use to), but Darker Projects has a Star Trek series called "Lost Frontier", set not too long after TNG/DS9 (Pickard and Riker are mentioned to possibly still be alive). The premise is that, about 10-15 years earlier, a virus destroyed the federation, no surviving ships can go more than about warp 2, and a new Enterprise (NCC-1701F) has been built to try to reunite the Federation. I'd love to see something like that made into a series.
I really liked the few episodes in Voyager with the Timeship Relativity. Gimme more crazy timejumping action!
A tie between post-Picard and 25th Century here, too. Maybe something in between. Went for post-Picard, though. But only because the DS9 option was mysteriously left out!
Hey, maybe I should check out those books, eh?
Casper: The first 5 stories in the relaunch are available in an Omnibus edution called Twist of Faith.
