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 8) 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.
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?

25th century or beyond. Then there would be more freedom in the story-making. No problems with continuity and such.

I really liked the few episodes in Voyager with the Timeship Relativity. Gimme more crazy timejumping action!
