Product Description

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 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description

Badrang, the Tyrant stoat, the evil Lord of the Eastern Coast, has forced captive slaves to build his fortress, Marshank. Among these slaves is an indomitable young mouse called Martin, who, together with his friends Felldoh and Brome, escapes from the fortress, aided by Rose of Noonvale and Grumm, the mole. So begins a tale of adventure love, treachery and deceit. The action is fast and furious scattered with characters like Cap'n Tramun Clogg, Ambella and her Pygmy shrews, and the Rambling Rosehip Players. A stirring yarn with all Brian Jacques' usual ingredients of feasts, rhymes, songs, battles and humour, and starring a legendary Redwall hero: Martin, the Warrior! --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Martin the Warrior, 24 Dec 2005
This review is from: Martin the Warrior: A Tale of Redwall (Red Fox older fiction) (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
This review is from: Martin the Warrior: A Tale of Redwall (Red Fox older fiction) (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 A very good well written book by a brilliant author, 22 Feb 2007
By Florencium - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Martin the Warrior: A Tale of Redwall (Red Fox older fiction) (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.
