Wanderer's right as far as I recall. I'm pretty sure that the Galactic Patrol-Grey Lensman-Second Stage Lensman arc was written seperately from the arc that incudes the second half of Triplanetary and First Lensman but I don't recall which. The first half of Triplanetary was written later I think, to flesh out the series when it was being published as books.
There is a certain amount of grey in the series - the various races all have their own codes of conduct and there's plenty of difference between them. OTOH it is a pretty clear cut good-bad scenario.
Bear in mind that EE Doc Smith also wrote several other books. The Skylark books probably wouldn't be a very good choice for Drunkard's Walk, since their scope is actually larger than the Lensman universe. However, the Family d'Alembert features a bunch of insanely capable individuals acting as secret agents of a fairly benevolent empire threatened by a conspiracy. While the main threat was dealt with comprehensively by the end of the series, Doug might well find a great deal to do there. He might get along quite well with Pias Bavol for example.
