Edge NEWS of Amazonian proportions

Edge, truly is the western series too tough to die.

The problem that kept the half-breed from Amazon has been solved - thanks to Solstice, Hodder and Stoughton for digging out the old paperwork, and Terry Harknett himself - Edge the Loner in spanking new eBook format is now available on Amazon.


The problem arose because the American publisher of the original Edge Paperbacks went bust before formally reverting the rights back to Terry. We knew this was just a technicality and that Terry owned all rights, but Amazon, understandably were slightly cautious. However we were able to produce documentation of the UK rights reverting and thanks to Hodder and Stoughton who were kind enough to go through ancient files and find one of the original American contracts with the revert clause, we were finally able to prove that not only had UK rights reverted but the worldwide ones had also.

Anyway problem over and Edge is now available on Amazon which controls a large chunk of the eBook market - I'll be giving news later this week of how the Edge series is going to continue, indeed the half-breed with attitude is the figurehead of the new Solstice Western line.

Find Edge on Amazon HERE and enjoy a true western classic - hard hitting, adult, satirical and as cool as the Fonz at the North Pole. Edge is unlike any other western series. Edge is quite unique and kept me addicted to westerns for most of my teenage years and all of my adult life. I truly love this series and I know you will too.


And speaking of  George Gilman we have a Adam Steele short story lined up and it will hopefully run over the weekend here on the Archive. That is if I get time to format it with everything else going on at the moment, but rest assured the Archive will be all on Edge for some time to come.

Everyone's on Edge

Edge is all over the Wild West Web - Bill Cryder reports on the return of Edge over on his widely read blog, Smashwords now have the eBook listed in their market and are featuring Edge HERE

And Cheaplit, nice name that, have an extract from the new eBook HERE

The Edge is back

"The idealized Westerner lives clean, is respectful to ladies, courteous to his social inferiors and gives his enemies a sporting chance. Edge is not an idealized westerner - not in any way at all. This is where it all begins, one of the most compelling and original western series ever written. A series that will shock and delight in equal measure, for Edge is a western hero like no other - Edge"

The book is also on its way to Amazon's Kindle store and will be showing up there any day now. But the way Amazon's system works at the moment it will appear on Amazon within 2 weeks, although it usually only takes four to five days,  and the expanded distribution which lists it on over 25,000 online sites such as Barnes and Noble will take up to 1-8 weeks.

The book can be bought instantly though direct from the publisher, Solstice Publishing or from sites such as Smashwords.

Thanks to Tony Masero for the bad pun.

James Reasoner is all on Edge

Hugely respected western author James Reasoner says - "Starting tomorrow, the ebook reprint of the first novel in the long-running Edge Western series will be available from Amazon, Smashwords, and the other usual suspects.  The cover is a nice one, reminiscent of the original series but different as well.  The book includes a pair of fine introductions by the author, Terry Harknett, and our friend Gary Dobbs, who played a large part in making the series available again."
