Salamandastron

As the inhabitants of Redwall relax in the haze of the long, hot summer, they are unaware that the neighbouring stronghold of Salamandastron lies besieged by the evil weasel army of Ferhago the Assassin, and that the Mara, the beloved daughter of Urthsipe, Badger Lord of the Fire Mountain, is in terrible danger. But when a lightening bolt uncovers the sword of Martin the Warrior, young Samkin embarks on adventure that leads him to Mara, and their lives become inexplicably entwined.

Brian Jacques once again strikes to the heart in this stunningly executed adventure, another in the bestselling Redwall series, proving, if indeed proof was needed, that he ranks high among the best children's authors in the world. His genius lies in his ability to capture character and atmosphere with a stroke of a pen, drawing the reader in until the only way to start breathing again is to finish the book. --Susan Harrison

Salamanderstron legendery home of the Badger Lords/Ladies! - Rated
This incredible story by Brian Jacques is filled with adventure, excitement and moments good and bad. The tale begins with a badger Lord Urthstripe the strong of Salamanderstron and his adoptive daughter Mara. Mara and her young hare friend Pikkle run away from the mountain Salamanderstron ignoring the cautions of her pretective father, until they encounter an inocent blue-eyed weasel, Klitch, and his ferret friend Goffa. They soon befriend each other but little do they know that Klitch is the son of the evil Ferahgo the Assassin.....
The events of Redwall and Salamanderstron link up into an amazing quest to get back Martin the Warrior's sword and an amazing battle against Ferahgo and his horde.
An incredible book you must read it!

Very good - Rated
This book is very similar to the other Redwall books, except this one focuses not on Redwall or a journey outside Redwall, but on Salamandastron. Salamandastron is under siege and it's up to the badger lord to defend the mountain. This is an exciting book with a tragic ending, fast pace and plenty of cheerful, comic and heroic characters. There is, as usual, a bloody and dramatic ending.

My favorite book of the series - Rated
I loved this book! It was the greatest one in the series. The characters are fun, the plot is great (the treasure idea was good, and the villain was very villainous). For some reason, Jacques latter works are not as good as his earlier ones; they are still good, don't get me wrong. Its just that he spends less time on the characters and details than he used to. Anyway, this is the best, and then there's Martin the Warrior, which is WONDERFUL. Read both of them. Then read the WHOLE SERIES!

This book is awesome, Two thumbs up!!! - Rated
I read a real good book called Salamandastron, by Brian Jacques. It is a fantasy book about woodland creatures that fight wars with vermin like rats, weasels, stoats, etc......... This particular book is about the evil Ferrahgo the Assassin-an unmerciful ferret warlord that wants to take over the mountain fortress Salamanstron. But, Urthstripe the Strong has other plans. Mean while at Redwall Abbey, place of peace, the sword of their mighty hero has been stolen by two stoats that brought a disease and killed a man. See how they cure the sickness,recover the sword, and if Urthstripe can defeat Ferrahgo and the vermin in the action packed fantasy book, Salamandastron.

Awesome!! - Rated
This book, I must say is a Redwall masterpiece, like all others. It is one of my favorite Redwall books and I enjoy every minute of reading every book! This book is as intriguing as them all!
