How about _A_Gift_From_Earth_ by Niven?  And other related stories?  A
good portion of Niven's Known Space takes place before FTL was
"discovered".  Most of them are short stories.  But the whole concept
of Ramscoop robots and colony ships is based on non-FTL travel.  I
could rattle off a bunch of names, but my Niven collection is at home,
and besides, I'm sure everyone gets the idea.
