They have been, in the SCE/CoE story Ring Around the Sky by Allyn Gibson.
Gee, it will be so nice to finally get caught up on the DS9R! 
I've made several attempts over the years, making up to Twilight before getting kind of bogged down. I love the book, but that sucker is huge. I love long books in general, but for some reason I kept getting distracted with things such as the Lost Era, some of the collections, the Crucible trilogy, etc. I think the only ST novel longer than Twilight must be Crucible: McCoy.

Star Trek needs more Yoko Ono.
I will offer something with DeSoto could work if it were a "political" novel along the lines of KRAD's Art Of The Impossible (especially if KRAD or David George wrote it).
I wouldn't mind seeing a few more Enterprise-B and C stories...especially Enterprise-B a lot closer to the beginning of Harriman's mission (there's a lot I liked about Serpents Among The Ruins...but it felt somehow unsatisfying...as if we were being shown one of the final volumes in a longer series without being given a chance to read the first ones).
Maybe an "alternate series" book set aboard an Excelsior captained by Kirk (as if TOS crew was given Excelsior instead of Enterprise-A).

Battlecruiser Vengeance.
And I don't mean *mentioning* it in dialogue. I mean the actual program, written in novel form. Perhaps a collection of stories.
I mean, since when else have we ever actually seen what fictional programming would be like in Trek's time? I'd like to think that Battlecruiser would be like a Klingon version of Spike TV programming - raucous, fun, lots of explosions, etc.

It is a curious notion to ponder. Particularly, what kind of science-fiction would such a society produce? I do recall, however, one novel mentioning a program Alexander would watch, about a group of people bouncing around in the time-stream, visiting new periods with every instalment... sort of like a time-travelling Sliders. Drawing a complete blank on what book it might have been, though.

Definitely agree about the Sheliak and the Breen. The Sheliak seem pretty cool, and I would love to see a book that deat with them. I really think it's about time we learned about what the Breen's appearance and culture are like, they were in 10 episodes of DS9, and were mentioned several times in TNG, but we still no nothing about them.
EDIT: As for a "alternate" movie era TOS on the Excelsior, we did, sort of, get that in the form of the DC TOS comics that were released between TSFS, and TVH.
Well, that could be difficult. After all, you know what they say -- it's not easy seeing Breen.
^ Okay, you know what? I'm cutting you off from the joke & pun buffet. From now on, it's strictly a healthy diet of science factoids and continuity observations for you.
(All right, I'll let you make jokes about Articles of the Federation, but that's it!)

Hah! As if even you could ward off my bad puns.
FWIW, Meditations on a Crimson Shadow, a Cardassian novel mentioned in DS9's "The Wire," takes place in the(ir) future, and would therefore qualify as science-fiction. Other than the basic premise, though (Cardassians and Klingons at war, which eventually happened anyway), there was no indication of what "futuristic" elements the novel contained.
*ducks and covers under desk*
Cheers, mate. Impressive memory.

I would like to see more Voyager novels, with concepts like:
- Voyager shifting to the mirror universe
- More time travel
- More parallel universes, as in Echoes #15
- And definently stories with black holes
Plus, I'd like to see way more crossover series like Invasion!, although I'd have to struggle through the DS9 entries, seeing as DS9 is my least favorite.
