De: Brian Jacques

Narrado por: James Faulkner

Brought to you by Puffin.

The thirteenth book in the beloved, bestselling Redwall saga - soon to be a major Netflix movie!

Salamandastron, under the guardianship of old Lord Stonepaw, is under threat from an enemy of immense and terrifying power. Ungatt Trunn, the wildcat who can make the stars fall from the sky, has attacked with his Blue Hordes and is determined that the fortress should be his. The mountain's defences are weak and it seems that nothing can stand in his way.

Nothing, that is, but the badger Lord Brocktree, who is drawn to Salamandastron by an undeniable sense of duty. But if he is to rescue the mountain from Trunn and his verminous hordes, he must gather about him an army capable of defeating them in battle. Together with the irrepressible haremaid, Dotti, and a host of brave creatures, Brocktree journeys to Salamandastron to fulfil his destiny.

Great to have 1 of the gaps in this series filled

Redwall has been one of my favorite series ever since I read Mossflower 20 years ago. Now as a busy adult I dont have a lot of time for reading but I can listen to Audiobooks while commuting or completing tasks, and I enjoy going through the Redwall series every couple years. It's always disappointed me that 3 of my favorites (Lord Brocktree, Pearls of Lutra, and Marlfox) weren't available on Audio so I was so excited when I saw this was available.

I really enjoyed the previous books full cast so I was concerned about having a new narrator, but overall he did a fantastic job. I really hope he records the other missing Redwall books as well.

Excellent story, but narrator struggled with pronunciation and accents

Great to see the audiobooks continuing. Hope for future ones, the narrator will prep for on Jacques’ pronunciations and accents. It brings you out of the story when things are mispronounced.

Good reader

I'm used to the full cast performance recordings but I still enjoyed this reader.

Different but splendid

For those accustomed to the author narration and full cast versions of Redwall audiobooks, this will take a little adjustment. That being said, the story is as solid as ever, as we’re regaled with the tale of the indomitable Lord Brocktree. Mr. Faulkner does a great job bringing life to a hefty cast and his cadence is splendid.

Humor And Peril

Despite the danger and peril there is a lot of humor in this book. The righteous characters are endearing and the evil ones are treacherous & despicable. The Narration is 5 star!
