Once described as the most violent, bloodiest series ever published, the EDGE novels went on to become one of the bestselling classic series that set a new standard for the Western genre with over 8 million copies finding its way to print. Witness the exploits of the ultimate anti-hero Edge (a.k.a. Josiah Hedges) as he traverses the western frontier and lives by his own set of rules.

"The Edge series, which was jointly created with NEL editor Laurence James, was a fresh literary idea and an immediate success. The action on the pages moved at a quick pace, while the vivid descriptions of brutality (which would later spur U.S. publisher Pinnacle to brand them The Most Violent Westerns In Print!) was shocking. However, in an attempt to lessen the impact of the explicit violence - which Terry readily admits he never enjoyed writing in the books - he injected dark sarcasm to lighten the situation. The gallows humor, which is prevalent throughout each of the Gilman titles, remains a fan favorite to this day."
