For the last three weeks I've not started any new SNE setting, and I'm starting to get a bit restless (which is not good...:D ).

So, this thread is to ask for recommendations for SF books that have space battles. My only two conditions is that the battles are not too esoteric (i.e., Culture battles--how would you model an effector, anyway?) and good to read. I've read all the Lost Fleet books, so they're out.
