Infamy? You didn't like the "Red/Green/Blue Mars" trilogy? His
characters
are interesting, his science seems accurate (or at least a very high
order
of PSB) and the setting was interesting. (but then, I'm a
Mars-colonization and just-Mars story junkie...I own all of ERB's John
Carter of Mars books as well. Great silly space opera...)

'Anno Dracula' and 'Bloody Red Baron' by Newman are also good books, as
someone already mentioned. _Really_ alternate history...
