http://www.amazon.com/Tau-Zero-ebook/dp ... 880&sr=8-1]Tau Zero, by Poul Anderson. Classic hard sci-fi from the early '70s.
Capsule summary: a colonist ship leaves Earth for the distant star Beta Virginis. Due to time dilation the trip will take 30 years real time, but only 5 years ship-board time. However, an accident renders the ship unable to decelerate and she and her crew are doomed to continually accelerate, inching closer and closer to but never quite reaching light speed.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head for e-available sci-fi. Or fantasy. If I think of others I'll add them.
