I enjoy Turtledove, he takes the time to research his material and that shows through in his books, certainly makes for an enjoyable read!
There is another best selling author that initially impressed me...then he wrote a triology. The final book really destroyed him for me...one of his major battle scenes was an almost line for line description of an older movie called "Zulu". The scene was much better done in the movie.
