CJ Cherryh's work, notably the Compact Space series. Also, and especially, Hellburner - I don't think there are any better descriptions of combat at reletavistic velocities anywhere.

Speaker for the Dead is one of my fabourite books (I loved Enders Game too). Its a very clever piece of work, and may be of interest here in that the "speaker for the dead" is a sort of secular speaker who performs non-religious funeral services, and attempts to explain the life of the deceased as they themselves saw it to the others who knew them. Quite a fascinating concept.
