Everybeast will love heroic Lord Brocktree and his amazing adventure.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 Brocktreeis 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.
