With the exception of a couple, they were much like the Hornblower series, each book reaches a definitive end. It's very different than, say LOTR or Harry Potter (after say book 3, the first two were more stand alone). Most long running series like that tend to be abandoned over time rather than be brought to a true conclusion.

Up till about 13, you are correct. After that, I don't even think there was a plot, much less a climax (intended).
