  If you're interested in "realistic" (meaning: no FTL) space battles read Alastair Reynolds' Redemption Ark (and read Revelation Space and Chasm City before that). It includes a chase between star systems that goes on for years and "close" (ie within a few light-seconds) combat that involves a lot of interpolation…

  Haha thanks for the correction. I forget that I need to take care with definitions when it comes to physics concepts. I just finished reading Redemption Ark, that leaves Absolution Gap and The Prefect. Only a good 2000+ pages to go!

  …to the author's website... http://www.alastairreynolds.com/novels/ His take on this is: " The reading order isn’t that critical, in my view, but it probably improves things to read REVELATION SPACE, REDEMPTION ARK and ABSOLUTION GAP in that sequence. THE PREFECT (AURORA RISING) and ELYSIUM FIRE may be read alone or jointly, but should best be read in the above order. CHASM CITY, as well as the collections DIAMOND…
