Summary: Save the sword or read the book
Review: This is another good book from the Redwall series. This book starts differently than the others. It is told by Abbot Saxtos. In one day, he tells the story of Martin the Warrior to some travelers who know a little about Martin.
The book started at Marshank. Martin was a slave to Lord Badrang. Lord Badrang took his father's sword from Martin. One day he and some others break out from the Prison Pit. The few that break out go separate ways. Brome and Fellodoh go with the Rambling Roseship players. Martin, Rose, and Grumm are captured by Pygmy Shrews. They were made to look after the little ones. A seagull took the Queen's baby. So Martin saved him and him and his friends get to leave. They made it to Noonvale. Martin sees how many of them are willing to go and fight Badrang and get the sword back. He gets few. Then heading to Marshank, he get hundreds of animals to help fight. They meet Brome and Fellodoh. That's when the war to get back the sword begins.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes animals and medieval times combined. This is another great book written by Brian Jacques. This is one of the better Redwall books because it has more action and adventure.

Summary: Sparticus retold...
Review: If Mossflower was Lord of the Rings, then this is surely Sparticus. In this story, our hero is imprisoned, and when he refuses to bend to the rule of the evil tyrant he is tortured and left to die as a meal for mouse-eating birds. But Martin escapes... and plans his REVENGE.I have read Redwall, Matimeo, Salamandastron, Mossflower, and Martin the Warrior so far, and my two favorites are Mossflower and Martin the Warrior. In this book we delve even deeper into the origins of the greatest hero of the Redwall series. We find out where he got his sword, who his first love was, and how he freed the slaves of his homeland and ultimately came to wander into the land of Mossflower all alone. This is a truly epic tale about true love, revenge, loyalty, and the lonely life a true warrior is destined to lead. Superbly written, action-packed, and ultimately deeply sad and heartfelt, this is a book that demands to be read and re-read. If you enjoyed other books in the series you owe it to yourself to give this one a read. If you liked Mossflower it's a definite must-buy.

Summary: The Battle against Badrang
Review: Martin the Warrior is the sixth in the Redwall series and one of my favourites. The prologue is at Redwall, when two creatures, a mouse and a hedgehog, tell the story of a great, but little known warrior, Martin, son of Luke and Sayna.
It begins at Marshank, Badrang the stoat's fort, where the young Martin is being worked under forced labour. When he lashes out at Hisk, one of Badrang's captains, he is sentenced to death, and is strung up for the seabirds.
However, he survives the night, while his fellow captives are planning to overthrow Marshank and Badrang, and escape. Among them are Keyla and Tullgrew the otters, and the treacherous Druwp. Later in the book, he, Feldoh and Brome the mouse are thrown into the prison hole when they attack the rats, weasels and foxes under Badrang's command, only to be saved by Rose and Grumm the mole (who digs them a tunnel out).
Meanwhile, Captain Tramun Clogg is waging war against his former partner in crime, Badrang, and both stoats have to battle it out, with burning of ships and all the time acting as though they are still the best of friends.
Martin, Rose and co. escape from Marshank by floating down the coast in small longboats, only to realise that they have holes in them and are in danger of sinking. During the commotion they are separated and Felldoh and Brome end up with a band of actors lead by the hare Ballaw and Rowanoak the badger, and Martin, Rose and Grumm are captured by pygmy shrews, lead by Amballa. When Martin saves her squidgee from a big gannet, she releases them and awards him with her own sword, they also gain a new friend, Pallum the hedgehog.
Meanwhile, Ballaw and co. are planning a rescue attempt for the creatures of Marshank, which they undertake when Clogg brings them into the walls because he believes them to be 'magic'. They, and all the slaves escape, and, from the coast, wage war on Marshank.
Martin and co. meet up with kindly moles and wimpy rabbits, get stung by bees that like the sound of Rose's voice and strange weasels that cover their bodies in weeds, as well as crazed squirrels, until meeting up with a pair of owls that finally take them to Noonvale, Rose's home.
Urran Voh, Rose's father, however disagrees with Martin when he asks for him to supply an army to destroy Marshank. They go back and for all in involved, tragedy ensues. In a gripping last battle, all the creatures unite and battle the evil of Badrang and his horde, with the loss of friends and foes alike. But, as usual the good beats the evil, and Martin avenges his the death of his grandmother, and, in a way, his father.
This is easily one of the best of Brian Jacques' Redwall series.

Summary: OMG!!! Good book...REALLY!
Review: well, first of all, i really love this book! It is about Martin the warrior and his struggles. First, he is taken captive, and then rescued by Rose and Grumm from Noonvale. Then, as they run away, Felldoh and Brome are separated from Martin and Rose and Grumm, and they all work together to raise an army to fight the evil warlord who started it all. Then, when everything is set up and Martin and people (or animals)go to the fortress with their own army, they attack! well, let's just say all goes well until about the end, when some of our beloved characters meet their ends...sniff...that's why i gave this a 4 instead of a 5. it was REALLY good, but had a sad ending. hope my review was helpful! READ THIS BOOK, IT IS SOOOOOO GOOD!

Summary: Brian Jacques does it again!!!
Review: Most sequals are not that good . . . they either disapoint you or bore you. Well, Brian Jacques is one of the small amount of writers that have kept my attention the whole time, and he's done it again with Martin the Warrior. When Martin is captured by the evil Lord Badrang as a young mouse, he steals both Martins freedom and the sword given to him by his father. When he secapes, he meets some lifelong friends There are twists and turns, and some funny happenings throughout the whole story, making it a book that you'll never get tired of reading. I strongly suggest this book, because it is one of the rare books that change your thoughts on fiction books.

Summary: One of the best ever
Review: How can anyone NOT give this a 5? Martin the Warrior has got to be one of the best books I've ever read. I saw other reviews say that this book is about war, but its not! Its about fighting for freedom and respect. The sword-fights are intense and brutal, and so are the battles. If you like action, there's plenty of it in Martin the Warrior. Human characters are replaced by animals and I think that is a very good aspect of the Redwall books by Brian Jacques. The animal characters act like humans too! It starts off with Martin, the mouse (as a child) on the shoreline with his elderly father, Luke. Luke knows Martin has warrior spirit inside him and gives Martin his sword and sails away. Then one day, Martin was with his mother when a gang of searats passed by his shack and attacked Martin and his mother. Then Badrang, the leader of the searats took Luke's sword from Martin. Martin and his mother were sent to Badrang's slave camp in fortress Marshank where his mother shortly died after. After being sentenced to death, Martin gets saved by two travellers - Rose (a mouse) and Grumm (a mole). Martin escapes, but he still didn't get his sword back from Badrang. Now this is where the story begins - Martin will do anything to get his father's sword back and re-claim his family honor. He also wants vengeance over Badrang for enslaving all the innocent animals he abducted to work for him. Please read "Redwall" before reading this book, you'll enjoy this one a bit more. I must admit the ending shocked me, and I nearly cried at the end. They should change this book's reading age to 9-100 because everyone will enjoy this book! The last battle at Marshank was outstanding, but it was a bit dissapointing because the final sword-fight was too short. I read this book in 2 days, and enjoyed every page of it. This is a must-read, Redwall fan or not!

Summary: Martin The Warroir--GREAT!
Review: Martin is a strong, stoic young mouse. He is captured and put in a labor camp under the supervision of Lord Badrang, the evil stoat. Lord Badrang is trying to build a fortress by summer called Marshank! With his horde of ruthless stoats and weasels Lord Badrang treats the prisoners very badly! This Redwall book is a wonderful tale of animals having human qualities like wielding swords and battle-axes, fighting wars, building fortresses and talking in different dialects. They also have feelings. Martin challenges the guards and fights with them and sometimes refuses to work, and he also helps the other prisoners, who are beaten no matter how old they are! But, when Grumm the mole and Rose the mouse (his friends) come to his rescue anything can happen! I like this book because it has tons of descriptive words and plenty battles and bravery! This is an exhilarating fiction book with loads of action. Brian Jacques has written lots of Redwall books like Salamandastron, Redwall, and The Bellmaker! All these fiction books are the best, read them all!
