In a similar vein theres a book called Jack Faust by Michael Swanwick.
Id be surprised if you havent read it Doc, but for those who havent it incorporates the Faust character into the real world of the 16th/17th Century. It shows how he alters the industrial revolution, and the speed at which historical events occur, with his ill-gotten knowledge.
There are several good twists and well worth a read.
(its not a vamp book btw, sorry its off thread vamp fans!)
