Is anyone else a fan of Alternate History novels?

Do you have any favourite titles or authors in that genre?

I have just gotten in to it again after a long hiatus- and am finding some great stuff out there: Harry Turtledove has a new one out called the End of the Beginning. The premise being what if the Japanese had invaded Hawaii vs. bombing Pearl Harbour.

A little closer to home I also got another in the same parcel called "Ruled Britannia"- set in a 1597 where Spain has conquered Britain.

Apprently the genre is know as alternate history. It sounds a bit American to me.
