Summary: Finally, the story of Martin revealed!
Comment: 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: The Battle against Badrang
Comment: 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.
