Ursula K. LeGuin, in several of her stories (The Left Hand of Darkness and Semmlys'[sp?] Necklace, to name just two) has her NAFAL (Nearly As Fast As Light) drive cause time dialations. In fact, the ending of Semmly's Necklace depends on it, and the fact that Semmly has not aged very much during her voyage, while two generations have passed on her world while she was gone.
