Amazon.co.uk 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

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.

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.

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.

Totally great!
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. Read more
