I really enjoyed The Peshawar Lancers, which was a good fun adventure even if it didn't quite work as alternate history (it does that classic AH thing where a different culture remains dominant instead of the real-world one, and doesn't change at all for hundreds of years). I got the feeling that some of this other stuff was a bit... odd, so I stopped there.
