Publisher Description

The inhabitants of Redwall relax in the haze of summer-but as they do, the neighboring stronghold of Salamandastron lies besieged by the evil weasel army of Ferhago the Assassin. Worse still, Mara, beloved daughter of Urthstripe, Badger Lord of the Fire Mountain, is in terrible danger. Then a lightning bolt uncovers the sword of Martin the Warrior, and young Samkin embarks on an adventure that leads him to Mara. Can the good creatures triumph over the villainous Assassin?

"Mara the badger, Martin the Warrior and Samkin the squirrel are the main heros of this story. Mara is strong and fears nothing. Martin the Warrior is a strong mouse who, like Mara, is afraid of not a thing. Unntil Ferhago the Assasin parades in. Once Martin discovers that Ferhago is heading toward Redwall Abbey, he will do nothing but try to get to his beloved homeland before the horride weasel. Will Martin defeat Ferhago? Or will Redwall Abbey be enslaved to Ferhago forever? This novel is great. Every adventure and battle loving book-worm must have this book to line their bookshelves!!"

    " Salamandastron is the longest word I've ever learnt to spell off by heart. This is allthanks to this book. As I've said about the other Redwall books. Salamandastron is funny, beautifully written and heartwarming. Salamandastron is the story of a young badger maid leaving the mountain of Salamandastron with her friend Prickle the Hare. They go in search of adventure and find many firends. Its a wonderful story. "

    " It took me awhile to get into this book. The plot lines skip around and the characters become muddled because there are so many. However, after I gave the book a chance, I realized how well written it is and I actually began to enjoy it. The action and cliffhangers actually built the tension very well for me. "
