Gunpowder magic, steam-power, adventure, and intrigue... Carrtog, landless third son of Tsingallik and warrior trained in the use of powder magic, intends to make his way as a mercenary for hire. On his travels north, he and his personal guardsman stumble upon the royal christening of an expansion to Cragmor’s burgeoning railway –– in this case a gift from the King as a sign of goodwill to the conquered north of old. When the gathered populace prove they are not there to be pacified, Carrtog isn’t about to standby and do nothing. Cloaks sweep back, swords and pistols are drawn. Luckily for Carrtog, charging in might be his best chance of earning a name. But then the trap springs around the royal party and Carrtog realizes his eagerness may lead to his demise. Worse, if he manages to survive the ensorcelled contraption and rescue the King from the depths of the rebellious north, he might find that holding the King’s favor could prove more dangerous than any duel against a combat magician in the haze of battlefield smoke. He’ll need more than a little wit and inventiveness to survive this uprising. Steam engines, railway lines, gunpowder magic, and the advent of flight merge this flintlock fantasy adventure with the well tested machinations of steampunk –– a true confluence of invention and rebellion.

By Mariesky This was a fast read and the fantasy and slight steam punk elements kept it interesting enough to continue. There were a couple of downsides. Some scenarios get repetitive, both from the trial and error of developing new machines as well as some characters who seem capable of only one type of behavior. I would also have liked to see more context for some events mentioned only in passing, such as prior wars, to better explain the actions of some of the present-day characters. Overall, a nice and fast escape.

Fast-paced fantasy adventure By Nicholas Mele I don't read much fantasy, but this novel promised and delivered a world wherein magic and technology coexist and reinforce one another, for example, firing a pistol or rifle provides energy for some magic spells, and the protagonist uses a mixture of technology and magic to creat viable gliders. The characters were not well-developed, imo, but the world is interesting and well conceived, the action is almost non-stop, and the title is a play on words. Great read!
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. OK, not great. My biggest problems with Railroad Rising: The Black Powder Rebellion was its repetitiveness By Frank Errington Review copyOn the surface Railroad Rising: The Black Powder Rebellion seems like it could be a lot of fun. Part fantasy, part adventure, part steampunk, magic, even a touch of romance. What's not to like?There were a number of things I enjoyed in this work. For example, the story is solid. A magician, named Cartogg, and his armsman come to the aid of the king when he is ambushed at the opening of a railway he has had built for his people. Cartogg proves himself worthy and is soon in the service of the king.It's a good thing the king has Cartogg, since the rebels have magicians of their own. Aside from magic, the magician also shows an aptitude for steam engines and gliders and soon incorporates both into the king's arsenal.My biggest problems with Railroad Rising: The Black Powder Rebellion was its repetitiveness. Again and again, throughout the story, Cartogg is worried that he will lose favor with the king and the possible consequences of such an occurrence. I can understand his feelings, but not the author's need to remind us incessantly.The writing is capable, but I found the storytelling to be lackluster. What strengths there were in this book were found in the relationships between the characters. In the end, I'm glad I read Railroad Rising: The Black Powder Rebellion, but if there is a sequel I don't think I'd be likely to go there.Railroad Rising: The Black Powder Rebellion is available as an e-book from EDGE-Lite, an imprint of Hades Publications, Inc.Railroad Rising: The Black Powder Rebellion has been published posthumously, as the author passed away in 2015, my condolences to his family and friends.
