Other than both books being terrible examples of coding, Shadows of Ecstasy has the coding for a drop cap while War in Heaven does not. Oddly the version of War in Heaven in the epub secion of MobileRead's library does have dropcaps and used header tags for the chapter headers.

In Shadows of Ecstasy, the calibre1 and calibre2 classes set font size to 1.125em and 1.5em respectively while in War in Heaven, the only style applied to the first paragraph sets the top and bottom margin to 1em.

I would also suggest changing the use of pt (an absolute unit) in War in Heaven to a relative unit (em for example).
