A few years ago I picked up a non-fiction book called "Faster Than Light" by Nick Herbert, where he proposes that such travel may be possible. I only read the first couple of chapters, so unfortunately I can't give a review of his theories. Not that I probably could anyway, since my understanding of physics is too minimal for me to be able to critique. The idea is out there, though.
