    The Devils Sword

    The Devil’s Sword

    Written By Douglas E. Richards

    What to expect: Thriller

    A fencing tournament turns deadly! 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. Now, battling for their very survival, they must find a way to stop the two brilliant arms dealers behind it all. But the arms dealers hold all the cards. 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.

      I think that this would be a great book to make available for the children at school, especially as our school has many military children whose parents are stationed at the nearby Army base.

      Thank you,

      Christine

      Sounds like a good read for our high school, since we have some lower-level readers who need material that LOOKS like it is for higher level.
