- Tim Powers has some good fencing in a couple of his books:
-
- "On Stranger Tides" somewhat, and
-
- "Forsake the Sky" which has a lot of fencing lingo in it, so I
- doubt I appreciated it much. Either that or he fakes it
- really well. You might have trouble getting "Forsake the
- Sky" since it was initially published by 'Laser' in the '70s;
- but then reprinted (rewritten also?) by the New England SF
- society or some such. They might still have some copies.
- (someone from there please expand...)
