Product Description

There is peace at last between the warrior Clans, and Firestar is proud of the strength and unity of the cats he leads in ThunderClan. All four forest Clans are thriving, training new warriors and keeping their boundaries without conflict.

But Firestar's dreams are haunted by wailing cats fleeing a terrible disaster. With unexpected help from an old kittypet friend, he discovers a shocking secret: StarClan, the warrior ancestors who guide his paw steps, have lied to him.

Firestar is faced with the hardest decision of his life. Can he really turn his back on the forest that has become his home and embark on a perilous quest to discover a dark truth—one that has been buried beyond the memory of living cats? Whatever he finds at the end of his journey, he knows that nothing can ever be the same again.

About the Author

Erin Hunter is inspired by a love of cats and a fascination with the ferocity of the natural world. As well as having a great respect for nature in all its forms, Erin enjoys creating rich mythical explanations for animal behavior, shaped by her interest in astrology and standing stones.

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique and timeless journey..., August 23, 2007

By	Breezestar "Breezestar of CallistoClan" (The Land of My Dreams, Twilit Forest... Or just MD...) - See all my reviews

Firestar's Quest is the unique and exciting tale of ThunderClan's beloved leader and his journey to do something no cat has done before: leave his Clan to restore the lost fifth Clan, SkyClan. When mysterious warriors and fleeing cats begin to haunt Firestar's dreams, he is launched on the epic quest to discover what happened to them, and what they want him to do. Firestar is sent far from his forest home with nothing but his strange dreams and his faith in StarClan to guide him... But will Firestar be able to complete the daunting task they have asked him to complete?

This book is a definite read for anyone who has followed the Warriors series and is looking for an exciting and unique read (this tale is like nothing that has been in the Warriors books before). Not only is it a good story on its own, but it also ties in with the prophecy of The Power of Three: 'There will be three, kin of your kin... Who hold the power of the stars in their paws,' and bridges the gap between the final book of the Warriors series and the first book of The New Prophecy. Overall, Firestar's Quest was a wonderful book, and I recommend it to anyone looking for another fabulous Warriors tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great journey!, August 23, 2007

This is the best of all the books I have read! It explains about what happens between the first and second series. ( I had to read the entire first series over so i didn't get confused) It is well worth the mere cost of $18.00 and if you liked the original warriors you'll love this more! for some reason this book reminded me about Halo...

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, September 1, 2007

By	BookWyrm - See all my reviews

I really enjoyed this book! I thought it was slow in the beginning, but it got so much better!

Firestar starts receiving dreams from strange cats. He finds out that the dreams are from the lost clan called SkyClan. He is sent by SkyClan to rebuild it. He and Sandstorm journey to rebuild the lost clan. When he finds the site where the ancient clan settled, he searched to find cats. He found a cat whose mother's mother's was in the clan. The clan had been driven out by something, but the cat Sky wouldn't tell him. In the end, they figured out that it was the rats that had driven out SkyClan. They had a huge battle which is very exciting.

The story is really exciting and is really hard to put down. I loved it and I am looking forward to the next two books, both coming out on December 26, 2007!
