The first couple of them were pretty good for what they are, which is
light space opera. But he got too popular too quickly, and it ceased
to be possible to edit him. By about book 4 or so, it was 400,000
word stream of consciousness info-dumps.
(I'm currently reading one of the Starfire books he wrote with Steve
White. I'd forgotten how bloated the info-dumps in those were, so
that tendency goes *way* back.)
