If you're talking about Bahzell Bahnakson, honestly, that world could use a little darkening - particularly towards the end. In the first book, he was desperately fighting for his life, and surviving only because of inner reserves of badass, and it was pretty cool. In the second book, he was on basically even footing with the enemy, and it was okay. In the third book, Bahzell Stu the OP paladin and his mighty also-an-OP-paladin horse just run around gratuitously curbstomping the enemy without any real feeling (to me, anyway) of actual threat. So... what could reasonably show up in that world around book 3 that would kick him back to desperately running for his life again? Possibly play the Samurai Jack thing on him?
Actually, having Samurai Jack summoned back as Louise's familiar (and make it sucked through time, rather than across planets - so Aku is currently building power somewhere) might be fairly entertaining.
CD - with respect to your note on Ringo, I remember feeling pretty much exactly the same way wrt David Weber (except with different flaws countered) just after reading one of the books they coauthored.
