Description In my youth I read a number of the 'Edge' series of books and have been trying to find copies online for a while now. I could not remember the authors name. I found these 6 ebooks which I understand are follow ons from the original series and are freely available to anyone who wants them. The words below are not mine but I agree wholeheartedly with them. Enjoy!





Obviously inspired by the violence, the heat, the dust and the bloodshed that were the iconic and instantly recognisable features of Sergio Leone’s spaghetti westerns – films that attracted millions of viewers to the cinema during the late sixties and early seventies – George G. Gilman (a pen-name for Terry Harknett) eschewed the puritanical and moralistic conventions of the generic and standardised cowboy stories that were the staple of the western genre and relocated them in brand-new violent territory. Before long the name Edge would become synonymous with the essential reading of any dedicated or ‘real’ fan of Western fiction.





Edge was billed ‘a new kind of western hero’. Later on in the series, he was billed ‘a man alone’. Gilman deliberately emphasised Edge’s loner status: the half-breed psychopath, the western outsider, the amoral existentialist. Initially the Edge novels were novels of pursuit, later they became a series of one-off Edge adventures, with each novel containing an extremely violent dénouement.



There were 61 novels in the original series



The Edge adventures finally stopped arriving on bookstore shelves in 1989. That was it. To all intents and purposes, the series, although it hadn’t been officially concluded, was over. There would be no more Edge novels.





All that’s left from those heady days of violent, but well-written westerns is a 61-book series of NEL paperbacks, 3 Edge/Steele novels, a George G. Gilman web-based fan site, and 6 e-books that continue Edge’s adventures after Edge: The Rifle (61).





I enjoyed reading the Edge series of books very much and I was sorry to see the series come to an untimely (and unexplained) end. Each novel was very fast-paced, and all of them were written in a style that mixed violence, sex, black humour and the western landscape in a compelling way.





It would, of course, be wonderful if George G. Gilman were to write a final Edge adventure, tying up all the loose ends and providing a fitting conclusion to his stories and a fitting end to his charismatic anti-hero.
