I loved that series. I had several in paper that were donated. The Baen Retief volume is excellent.

Also check out The Plutonium Blonde, The Blue-Haired Bombshell, The Doomsday Brunette, and The Flaxen Femme Fatale by John Zakour. They are fantastic. One part of the humor is the language evolution depicted in their dialog. For example, "damn" becomes "DOS" and "By God" becomes "By Gates." There are many more.
