Harry Harrison had a big hit with the Stainless Steel Rat. And I liked his books, until he tried to do the young version.

"Bill the Galactic Hero" was also fantastic. And I also loved the ridiculous "Star Smashers of the Galaxy Rangers"

In the later year, Harry definitely used the fame from the earlier novels to try to cash in with poor quality sequels. I didn't agree with this on the 3 main SSR sequels. But Bill the Galactic Hero - awful sequels.
