If you want esoteric tech, then Baxter's Xeelee series is good for
that, but the ship combat is nothing like FT, involving the use of
things like closed timelike curves and traversable wormholes.

It's Hard SF, in that though he assumes the existence of some pretty
extreme technology, he does follow through on the consequences of
that according to current known physics. He's not so good on the
story/character side of thing though.

I hope they realise that such singularities would make for one
hell of a weapon.
