Check out the Star Trek : TNG novels, noteably 'Vendetta," by Peter David. (The fella used to write comics for Marvel, mainly X-Factor.)
Good stuff. Nothing better than a fellow Federation starship asking the Enterprise for a status/withdraw when Riker responds, "Tell them we're washing our hair!!"
Plus, a Ferengi Borg? Guinan's sister? The return of the Doomsday Machine?
