Historical fiction? Does stuff like the Odyssey count? I like that kind of stuff, which is loosely accurate to history with strong fictitious undertones.

If you count I Am Legend by Richard Matheson as either choice (technically it could be both), it's a good read.

Science Fiction, probably, but it's not a historical fiction in any sense.

Philip Dick's books are pretty good! The Man in the High Castle for example is pretty interesting

Historical fiction is pretty good if done right.

Steven Lawhead's King Raven trilogy

I know your thinking "omg not another one," but as amazingh as it may seem it's a very original interpretation and I really liked it.
