I'm in the middle of "Deus Irae", by Philip K. Dick & Roger Zelazny; as explained on its introduction, and only mentioning it for its historical reasons, it's peculiar because:
a) Till there there hasn't been, on sci-fi, any who would have even touched christian topics on a novel (I mean it only as historical); there is a fun part where the editor mentions the fact that, always onto the sci-fi genre, several authors that claim to be atheists are then the ones that writes to talk about God.
b) The writers collaboration is yet something peculiar, thought most often is done by one of the two acting as to "back sbd"; in there the plot and the build of the idea is like 74% by Philip, although Roger doesn't acts as just a support, he gave it the finest touches, the crochets, the searches into foreign's languages poetry verses... The editor also mentions that a collaboration between two so big is rare, it's like on the '40s a novel would have been written by Heinlein and Van Vogt (or Hemingway-Joyce, or James-Mann).
The novel is fantastically well written.
