About
Terry Harknett (born 1936) is a British author. He is author of almost 200 books, mostly pulp novels in the western and crime genres . He has written as a ghostwriter for Peter Haining and under an array of pseudonyms , including George G. Gilman , Joseph Hedges , William M. James , Charles R. Pike , Thomas H. Stone , Frank Chandler , Jane Harman , Alex Peters , William Pine , William Terry , James Russell and David Ford . Some bibliographies list Adam Hardy as one of Harknett's pseudonyms, in fact a nom de plume of Kenneth Bulmer . This is an error resulting from incorrect copyright information printed in one of the Edge westerns.
He has written a number of series including:
Steve Wayne (9 books under his own name)
Crown (3 books under his own name)
Edge (61 books as George G. Gilman)
Adam Steele (49 books as George G. Gilman)
Edge Meets Adam Steele (3 books as George G. Gilman)
The Undertaker (6 books as George G. Gilman)
The Revenger (12 books as Joseph Hedges)
Apache (27 books as William M. James)
Jubal Cade (3 books as Charles R. Pike)
Chester Fortune (5 books as Thomas H. Stone)
Harknett's westerns have been identified as an influence by authors including Robert J. Randisi and Peter Brandvold .
George G. Gilman is one pseudonym, or pen name, of Terry Harknett. Under that name Harknett wrote three series of Western books: Edge , which his US publisher would brand, "The Most Violent Westerns In Print"; Adam Steele (this character and Edge appeared together in three books); and The Undertaker . The Gilman books were known for their sardonic and sarcastic humor and for their very violent content.
In 2015 Amazon Studios aired a TV pilot titled Edge based on the book series of the same name, adapted by Shane Black and Fred Dekker and directed by Shane Black.

Quotes
45'liği olan bir adam, tüfeği olan bir adamla karşılaştığında 45'liği olan adam, ölü bir adamdır.Bu eski bir Meksika atasözüdür ve doğru söyler. (Ramon Rojo)
[Ramon'a] "Elinde 45'lik olan biri tüfekli biriyle karşı karşıya gelirse..." "...45'liği olan adam, ölü bir adamdır" demiştin, unutma! [Joe silahını doldurur.] Bakalım bu doğru muymuş ? Devam et. Mermi koy ve ateş et.
"Öldürmek istiyorsan kalbe nişan alsan iyi olur!" Bunlar senin sözlerin, Ramon! [Ramone iki kere daha ateş eder ama Joe tekrar ayağa kalkar.] Kalp, Ramon! Kalbe nişan almayı unutma! Kalbime nişan al, yoksa beni durduramazsın.
