About this Item

Very Good+ in a Near Fine dustjacket. Purple boards. The spine is stamped in gilt. Octavo. 375pps. First Printing (full numberline). There is a bit of faint dustspotting to the closed page-edges and the text is slightly and uniformly yellowed due to the acid content of the paper (endemic to this title). Otherwise clean, square, and tight. All tips are sharp. No previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in an archival sleeve, has a touch of crinkling at the top of the front panel; the original price is intact. A very nice, presentable copy; the 6th book in the Redwall series. ".A shadow has fallen on the shore of the Eastern sea, a shadow called Marshank. In this cold stone fortress a stoat named Badrang holds dozens of innocent creatures as slaves, part of his scheme to build an empire where he will rule as unquestioned tyrant. Among those slaves is a mouse named Martin who has a warrior's heart, and a burning desire for freedom -- freedom not ony for himself, but for all of Badrang's victims. There is no risk he will not take, no battle he will not fight, to end the stoat's evil reign, and in the process regain the sword of his father, Luke the Warrior -- the sword that Badrang stole from him when he was but a lad. Once again master storyteller Brian Jazques has crafted an epic adventure and filled it to the bursting point with unforgettable characters, including villians so hilariously evil you'll barely be able to keep from hissing them, and loveable woodland creatures so brave you'll want to stand and cheer as they fight for their freedom."

About this title

Synopsis

Badrang the stoat has dreamt of his own land, a vision of supreme power and total domination. Only one thing can stop him - a young mouse called Martin; a mouse who refuses to bow down to a tyrant, and who will fight for freedom - at any cost.

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
