>In the Strugatsky Brothers' Noon Universe, FTL travel is impossible. All ships travel at near-light speeds and return centuries later (objective time). This all changes when the crew of a starship decides to try something new. Normally, constant or slowly-increasing acceleration is maintained for most of the voyage. The captain of the ship decides to try high acceleration for most of the trip (about 10g) in order to reverse the effects of time dilation, as this would fall outside of the Special Theory of Relativity. According to the captain, General Theory of Relativity allows for this. This works, and the ship returns to Earth six months later; however, several years pass for the crew.

all but earliest 'Noon Universe' books have jump-style FTL.
The Land of Crimson Clouds doesn't mention FTL because it's very likely it's not invented yet. This is book is about expedition to Venus.
