Martin the Warrior
Martin the Warrior, published in 1993, is a fantasy
novel by Brian Jacques. It is the sixth book in the Redwall series.
Martin the Warrior tells the story of a young mouse
named Martin. He is a slave in Marshank under the cruel stoat Badrang.
When Badrang punishes him with torture, a young mousemaid Rose and
a mole Grumm hear his cries and try to help him. When Martin is imprisoned,
Martin meets Rose's brother Brome and a squirrel Felldoh. The three
plan to escape from Marshank and succeed, though Felldoh and Brome
are separated from the others. Felldoh and Brome meet the Rambling
Rosehip players and join forces with them, eventually freeing the
slaves. Meanwhile, Martin, Rose and Grumm meet a hedgehog named Pallum
after being imprisoned by pigmy shrews. They are eventually freed
along with Pallum and after a long adventure, the four adventurers
reach Noonvale, Rose and Grumm's home. They gather an army over there
but it is not large enough. Boldred, a white owl explains that she
has gathered an army larger than the one Martin has made. The army
then sails to Marshank and reaches there in good timing since the
Rambling Rosehips Players are in a predicament. All the vermin that
lived in Marshank and served Badrang were slain along with Badrang,
though Rose is killed. Martin is overcome with grief and heads south,
leaving all his friends behind to find a new life.
