Harknett wrote a number of fiction series including:

- Crown (3 books under his own name)
- Edge (61 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 authorship of the Edge, Steele, Jubal Cade and Apache series, as well as his novelisation of the film A Fistful of Dollars (under the pseudonym Frank Chandler, Tandem Books [1972]) earned him the description of 'One of the authors of "Blood and Soil" Western fiction'.[4]
Harknett's westerns have been identified as an influence by authors including Robert J. Randisi[5] and Peter Brandvold.[6]
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.[7]
