Set during the catastrophic New Madrid earthquake of 1812, Black Powder is the story of Robert Young, a former captain in the Barbary Wars and his river journey on America's first steamboat to rescue the woman he loves from a gang of river pirates led by his cutthroat nemesis and former commander, Samuel Mason.
Trapped in a logjam and low on gunpowder, the crew of the New Orleans make a desperate last stand against Samuel Mason and his river pirates. When swords are drawn along with blood, one thing soon becomes certain – it’ll take an act of God to save them. The bloody frontier adventure comes to an earth-shaking conclusion in this final installment of Black Powder.
