Join Kid Crimson as he flees his abusive past, navigating the treacherous landscapes of the Confederate South to find refuge in the bustling boomtown of Virginia City, Nevada.

As the youngest and most ruthless hired gun in town, Kid faces off against brutal gangs, all while capturing the attention of the town's loveliest saloon girls. But Kid's life takes a dangerous turn when he uncovers a Confederate plot to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln during his secret visit to Nevada-a conspiracy that involves a hydrogen machine, air balloons, a mountain of gunpowder, explosive-sniffing hogs, and even a poisoned stew.

Caught between two women vying for his affection and a looming miner's revolt, Kid Crimson must navigate a perilous path to keep Lincoln safe and secure his own future.

Violent, sensual, and darkly comical, Gunpowder Mountain is a journey into history that will live far into the future.
