He wrote a Decology (ten books total) and i believe the overall series was called Mission Earth with each of the ten books having its own title..i read the series twice, it was the first Sci-fi series i ever read and i loved (and laughed) every minute of it. It was amazingly written and had so many colorful characters that could be easily related too..especially the “bad” guy who had the absolute WORST luck lol..most of the funniest moments in the series had to do with him and his misadventures trying to take down the “hero” so to speak..anyways, not sure if this is the series you are reffering too, but i highly suggest giving it a read if you ever get the chance.
