Can three young fencers thwart a plan to bring America to its knees?Kevin, Rachel,and Ben are young fencers eager to compete in an upcoming tournament at Nellis Air Force Base. But when they arrive,they become unwilling pawns in a twisted plan to steal the ultimate weapon. A plan that somehow revolves around the tournament.

And far more is at stake than just their lives . . .Given sword fighting's irresistible appeal to kids, America's Olympic success, and blockbuster films with extensive sword fighting (Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc) fencing is one of the fastest growing sports in America. The Devil's Sword is a gripping thriller set against the highly unique and fascinating backdrop of this ancient sport.Crisp, innovative,and intelligent.
