Lord Brocktree (Redwall, Book 13) 
As the story opens, the villainous Ungatt Trunn, a menacing wildcat, has brought his powers to bear on Salamandastron, threatening the peace-loving beasts who live there.
Loneliness was everywhere. Hopelessness and an air of foreboding had settled over the western shores, casting their pall over land, sea and the mountain of Salamandastron. Yet nobeast knew the cause of it.
But all is not lost. Old Lord Stonepaw, the venerable Badger Ruler, summons the strongest of the strong to take over as lord of the mountain fortress and battle the evil wildcat. Lord Brocktree, far away from the trouble, begins to have visions that beckon him to Salamandastron. He travels there with his companion, a young haremaid named Dotti. But can he raise an army in time to smash Ungatt Trunn's terrifying Blue Hordes?
Like all the Redwall books, Lord Brocktree is a rollicking tale of adventure, war, magic, and beastly battles. The animal characters are sometimes brusque and brutal, and there's a strong current of darkness in the stories, as well as no-nonsense death scenes and strong language. But for fans of medieval fantasy adventure with a twist, this unforgettable series continues to satisfy. (Ages 9 and older) --Therese Littleton

This book was amazing and suspensful throughout the story. The badger lord is walking when he bumps into a haremaid. He introduces himself and they become friends. They decide to go on an adventure and fight the wildcat lord. This brave warrior with a double-edged sword is just waiting till he could get his hands on the wildcat. They end up finding many friends and have a small army of about fifty warriors. Every day in the land hares are killed by the wildcats and the warriors have had enough. They decide to attack the lord and end his rath.
I liked this book because it had a lot of action and adventure. They pretty much run into there paths and fait is the one that takes to where they are going. I think that the suspense is very interesting because you can't wait till the wild cat faces the badger lord. You just keep on reading and don't stop. This is one of the books that you could get lost in.
I didn't enjoy the fact that you would have to wait a long time for some action to happen.The story is really long and many stories so you can get confused. " It was nooon of the third day at the court of King Bucko Bigbones, time for the fighting challenge." This gives you suspense because you realy aren't sure if the victory is going to there way. It looks like there is also going to be a lot of action so it makes you want to read on.
My favorite part of the book was when Bucko Bigbones fought the haremaid. It had a lot of action so it made it exciting for you to read. It was also cool to see who wins and if your side wins it is really cool to read it. This book was really good overall and had a lot of good scenes.
