Amazon Review

Bedrang the Stoat has his evil eyes set on ruling over his own empire, and will do anything to make sure that his ultimate fantasy is fulfilled. But little does he realise that the quiet, nameless mouse he is holding captive will one day turn out to be the heroic and fearless Martin the Warrior.

Brian Jacques uses the full force of his stunning storytelling talent to unravel the mystery and adventure that unfolds in this Tale of Redwall as a quiet little mouse refuses to bow down to a tyrant and bids to fight for freedom at any cost. Brimming with cut-throat skullduggery and intellectual intrigue, Martin the Warrior is a mountainous tale that introduces the ethos and passions of Redwall to the reader by fuelling the imagination with a host of well-drawn characters, each with their own Achilles heel, making them feel as real as they are magical. --Susan Harrison --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

"Not since Roald Dahl have children filled their shelves so compulsively" (The Times )

"He is a wonderful storyteller, immersed in his own kingdom" (Guardian ) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Martin the Warrior 24 Dec 2005
By "slitfangshadowkillconey"
Format:Paperback
When I first picked this book up, I didn't think it would be much, considering that all the characters are bipedal animals. Believe me, I WAS WRONG. This is a brilliant novel, one of the best there are. It involves a young slave, Martin, in the fort of a tyrant, and his struggle for freedom. There are lots of subplots to make the story even more interesting. The action is fast, furious, and thrilling. The characters are great--from villainous corsair to simple woodlander to cruel horde-soldier. The plot is cunning, and always winding so that you're never bored. Every person I know who's laughed at Brian Jacques' books has read one (usually this one), and changed their mind completely. Fine read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creatures from the world join with Martin, the Warrior. 21 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Badrang is a stoat who dreams for world domination. A fortress of wood and stone is built so Badrang can take control easily. He does not trust other stoats, as he thinks they are the most cunning creatures. He has taken prisoners so his fortress will soon be complete, but one young mouse escapes with few and travels the world to gain an army who will stop Lord Badrang. Ferrets, rats and foxes. All guards of the Lord Badrang, the Tyrant, who took the mighty sword off the mouse. Martin, son of Luke, the Warrior. This book is recommended for ages 9+up. It is very long and can be upsetting in places. Rating, 6 out of 5 stars. The best ever book. If you are a little person who sees this book on a bookshelf, buy it, read it and then, read it again.The best book, a child with dreams could want. So join Martin, Felldoh, Rose and Grumm Trencher the mole through the land up North, to the South, in the West, or near the Eastern Sea. Brian Jacques will enspire.

5.0 out of 5 stars MARTIN THE WARRIOR - BRILLIANT STUFF!!! 22 Nov 2004
By Michael Bunney
Format:Paperback
Martin the Warrior is about a young mouse called Martin enslaved by the evil stoat Badrang the Tyrant in the castle of Marshank. Rose the mousemaid and a mole called Grumm who have come from the peaceful Noonvale to free Rose's brother Brome from the Tyrant's evil horde is Martin's only chance of escaping. Epic and amazing I would recomend Brian Jaques's books to anone who likes animal and adventure stories. He is my favourite author and YOU MUST READ HIS BOOKS the Redwall series. Martin the Warrior is the 2nd book in the series before Mossflower and after Lord Brocktree.
Full of description, adventure, excitement and moments good and bad this makes the perfect book from a truely skilled author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Words can't sum up the brilliance of this book 8 Dec 1999
By tremletts@lineone.net
Format:Paperback
I think this book is the best of the Redwall series; it is full of adventure, warrior spirit and compassion. It is very touching; at one point it even made me cry, though parts were amusing and I loved the overall image. I wish I were there with them, overcoming evil, and in the next couple of books, where a community led by Martin the Warrior and old Abbess Germaine builds and settles down in Redwall, and becomes the Order of Brothers and Sisters, renowned for healing anybeast who came to their doors... I wish I lived there with them, watching the tiny Abbeybabes create havoc, eating the excellent Redwall fare, and having the peaceful creatures as my closest friends...

Word's cannot sum up the brilliance of this book. I reccommend it and the whole series to everyone; young or old.

5.0 out of 5 stars The action packed prequel to Mossflower 29 Mar 1997
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Martin the Warrior is the first book chronologically in the Redwall series. It opens with Martin as a slave to an evil Stoat Warlord named Badrang. Martin, while chained to a stake in a storm vows to kill Badrang. After Martin escapes he has many adventures with his friends Rose (a mouse), Grumm (a mole), and Pallum (a hedgehog and my personal favorite). Together they have many adventures, encounters with many bizare animals, and hardships. This book is saved from mediocrity by it's colorful characters, furios battles, and humerous moments. It is a worthy prequel to Mossflower and a great addition to the Redwall series, but it is still not my favorite (see my review of Mossflower).

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good well written book by a brilliant author 22 Feb 2007
By Florencium
Format:Paperback
This was the first 'Redwall' book I ever read. It is Fab.

Martian ,a young mouse, is one of Badrang the Stoats many slaves, and unlike the other slaves this mouse is a mouse who has the courage to stand up against Badrang and his many captians and fight for freedom....at what ever cost.

This is a brilliant exciting book that pulls you in. It is so good I ended up reading for 3 hours in one day! A great fantasy for 10-14 year olds. There are about 17 in the sires and they are all Fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally great! 16 Feb 2007
By MagMonkey
Format:Paperback
The book had a lot of fighting in it, and animals that are in nature. There are a few little songs in it, and a lot of movement. I like it because of all the kinds of animals. An example of the animals is the mice warriors. They are very quick, brave and good. I think it's actually very good.
