Summary: More than Five Stars
Review: I have read this book six times, and found it to be my favorite Redwall book. It tells the story of Martin beore he was a legend, before he was the spirit of the abbey.Badrang was Lord and Tyrant of the Eastern Coasts. One of his slaves was Martin. Martin defied Badrang and was tied up on the roof of Fortress Marshank. During the storm at night, Rose and Grumm see Martin up on the roof. They are a mouse and mole from Noonvale to find Rose's brother Brome who is somewhere inside the fortress. In the morning, Rose and Grumm use slingstones to drive away the hungry seabirds intent on eating Martin. Martin did not die like he was supposed to so Badrang puts hin in the prison pit where Felldoh and Brome are. They escape and get split up while at sea for a while. Brome and Felldoh wash up near Marshank and Rose, Martin and Grumm end up by the Pygmy shrews' caves. There they meet Pallum. Pallum, Rose, Grumm and Martin go on a quest to Noonvale, Rose's home, for an army to rid the land of Badrang. Brome and Felldoh stay with the Rambling Rosehip players. The ending is the tragic battle of Marshank. Read the book to see if Martin wins!

Summary: Finally, a book about Martin the Warrior!!
Review: This book is definently my favorite book I've read so far! I've said that in my review in "Redwall", but I hadn't read "Martin the Warrior" at that time. This book has everything a book needs: action, humor, riddles, and more! This book is a must-read! The story goes like this: Martin the Warrior was a young mouse taken captive when he was just a child. His father's sword was taken from him from the evil stoat named Badrang the Tyrant. He was made a slave with many other peaceful creatures who were captured, in a dreadful castle named Marshank. When he is tied to a post on the top of Marshank to be killed, he sees that 2 creatures were living outside Marshank, a mousemaid called Rose and a mole named Grumm. They were searching for a young mouse named Brome who is Rose's younger brother and Grumm's friend. They discovered that Brome was a slave in Marshank and was trying to figure out how to rescue him. They save Martin from being killed, but Martin was partly saved by the appearance of a sea-faring stoat named Captain Clogg. Badrang and Clogg were enemies. So, Badrang had let Martin down from getting killed and concentrated on the task ahead. Martin, Brome, and another brave and rebelling squirrel name Felldoh(He is my favorite character in this book) escapes with the help of Grumm and Rose. Meanwhile, the pitiful band of slaves in Marshank had formed a plan. They knew that Martin would be back with an army and would save them. They knew that Martin would be back to retrieve his father's sword. So, they decide to be prepared. Stealing food and stealing weapons, they get ready for a rescue. Martin, Brome, Felldoh, Rose, and Grumm are separated at the sea. Martin, Rose, and Grumm, seeing that there was no point in waiting for the others since they didn't know where they were, set out to Noonvale where Rose's home was. There, Martin plans to raise an army and attack Marshank. They are captured by pigmy shrews but are freed when Martin saves the queen of the Squidjees's son.(Squidjees is the name they call themselves) The band of friends don't know where Noonvale is, but gets "help" from an old molemaid named Polleekin. Polleekin give them a rather hard riddle and they gradually solves it and reaches Noonvale safely. Meanwhile, Felldoh and Brome meets a band of travelers: a hare named Ballaw, a squirrel named Celadine, a badger named Rowanoek, and a few otters and moles. They were preformers. Felldoh boldly proposes to secretly free the slaves only with the band of travelers, Brome, and himself. The Rambling Rosehip Players(the name of the band of traveling creatures) preform a decoy play for the evil animals of Marshank while Felldoh and Brome freed the slaves. Only half of the slaves got out, the other half were recaptured. Martin the Warrior and his friends had not been able to raise an army in the peaceful Noonvale. Boldred, an owl they had made friends with, began to search the land to raise a horde. Brome had planned to free the other half by himself. He dressed himself up like a rat and entered the slave place. Telling the other evil creatures of Marshank that he was bringing them to Badrang, he led them to the secret tunnel he and his friends had used to escape. The slaves were freed, but the Rambling Rosehip Players, Felldoh, Brome, and the freed slaves were now in great trouble. Now the vermin were mad. They charged them and began to attack. What will happen to the Rambling Rosehip Players and the others? When will Martin and his friends arrive with his army? This book was just so great! Though I have to warn you that the ending is very...different from what you think it will end like. It has sort of like a sad ending. But this book is still best book I've ever read in the Redwall Series!

Summary: Finally, the story of Martin revealed!
Review: Martin the Warrior starts out when too travelers from Noonvale visit Redwall and tell their tale. The story they tell is that of Martin the Warrior! The story begins with Martin serving as a slave to build a fortress for the crazed, tyrant hopeful, stoat Badrang. When he sees an old squirrel being beaten, he decides that he has had enough. He grabs the taskmaster's whip and tries to strangle him with it. Unfortunantly, he is stopped and hung outside to be killed by the elements or the seabirds. During a storm that night, he cries out about his troubles and a mousemaid named Rose hears him. She says that she and her molefriend, Grumm, will try to help him. Martin survives the storm and Rose and Grumm manage to drive off the seabirds. Meanwhile, Badrang suddenly sees the ship 'Seascarab' on the cost and orders Martin thrown into the pit. The captain of the 'Seascarab' is none other than Tramun Clogg, Badrang's old 'business' partner. Inside the pit, Martin meats Felldoh, the old squirrel's son, and brome, Rose's brother. Together they manage to instruct Grumm on where to dig a tunnel to aid in their escape. They finally manage toescape while Badrang's hoard fights off Tramun Clogg's crew planning to meat in Noonvale. Unfortunantly, the boat they steal was sabotaged and they get seperated in the sea. Felldoh and Brome meat up with a traveling troupe and attempt to free the slaves in marshank. Meanwhile, Martin, Rose, and Grumm begin the perilous journey to Noonvale in which they make many new friends and create an army to free the slaves in Marshank. Martin the Warrior is one of, if not, the best Redwall book. The story is filled with adventure, excitement, humor, and tragedy. If you choose to buy the audio version, the cast is superb. Brian Jacques is the narrator and his son and friends along with several professional actors portray the characters.I would recomend this book to any one, fan of Redwall or not. In my opinion, this book would also be great as the first Redwall book you read because it's story is independant from the other books and they, sort of, depend on it.

Summary: A masterpiece of the Redwall series!
Review: This book just blew me away! I have been a Redwall fan ever since I first got my hands on "The Pearls of Lutra", and I must say that this is my absolute favorite book of all time. Jacques has painted a beautiful picture with words. It is the tale of a creature who rose from slavery to battle the greatest power on the Eastern Sea. It is touching, inspiring, and poetically written. The characters are well developed, each with their virtues and faults. Martin is strong, fierce, and defiant, and Rose is beautiful, gentle, and brave. Felldoh is a true warrior, and Grumm is a loyal friend. I really did cry at the end of this book, I loved it so much. It is bittersweet and a wonderful adventure. I have re-read it time and again, because the themes of love, loss and freedom are so strong! I really do advise this book to anyone, any age.

Summary: Mitton's Martin the Warrior
Review: I want to start out by saying that this book had a very good plot. Luke the warrior Martins son wanted to be a warrior. There was an oath he swore of not to give his sword up and he got it taken. Martin didnt want to go back like this so he went on a journey, from being in slavery, from running, his own adventure. He saved people along the way and had a dream to get his sword back. Find out if he did. This book deserves 5 starts because of how the climax worked out. It left you gessing what was going to happen. This was an excellent book for ages 10+.

Summary: Hero of Redwall
Review: A classic tale of good versus evil. This is the story of how Martin the Warrior rose from humble beginnings as a slave mouse to become the champion of Redwall. This book has an action packed story line. The friends, despite being forest creatures, are larger than life. They include the mousemaid Rose, the vengeful Felldoh, and even a traveling troop of comics. They and others are pitted against Badrang, former sea rat captain, now Tyrant of Marshank. Although this is the sixth book in the series, it can be read first because the books were written out of sequence and this is the prequal to the other stories. Mossflower is the next book in the sequence. I would recommend this book to anybody who enjoys fantasy or children's literature. The only reason this gets four stars is because Jacques spends an inordinate amount of time writing about food or supper-time.

Summary: One of his Best!
Review: I'm a great fan of the Redwall series. When the book Redwall was first introduced to me, I thought it looked dumb, but I thought otherwise after I read it. So now I just finished the 5th Redwall book I"ve read, Martin the Warrior. It's hard to say which is my favorite, but this was one of them. I completly disagree that this book is for readers ages 9-12. More like 9-100! I'm planning on buying the whole set so I can read them all over again and again. I'm obsessesed! Martin the Warrior was SOOOOOOO good!! I esspesially like the details, you know, the little things. I pay careful attention to every little thing so I can picture it in my head. I like how Jacques writes fron 3rd person point of view, so you can know what everybody's thinking. Martin the Warrior is one of my favorites because it action-packed and I can't help but love the personalities of the characters. This book made me both laugh and even cry a little. Read this book!! I think Brian Jacques should get even more reconition than he does, because I have never read better books than those of the redwall series, and I hope he makes lots more! I've never been disapointed with one of his books yet, and this one is one of his best.

Summary: Best Book by Brian Jacques!!
Review: This book was amazing from the first pages -- in which an enslaved mouse called Martin attacks a slave-guard at the evil fortress of Marshank and is sentenced to death by the stoat Badrang the Tyrant -- to the end where...well, I had better not tell.
This book was almost non-stop action, which is rare in many books. You would not want to put this book down!! This book is possibly the BEST book that Brian Jacques has written!! There are a few sadder parts, where the pace slows down a little (but that is typical of all Jacques' books). You can read this book over and over again and find something new, a new implication or piece of irony. Best of all, instead of just two armies battling each other, Brian Jacques creates a third party -- the freebooting stoat Cap'n Clogg -- that battle both the good and bad armies.
I have only one piece of advice for you: GO BUY THIS BOOK NOW, OR ELSE YOU MAY BE MISSING THE BEST BOOK IN PRINT!!!
