The next tale of high drama & swashbuckling adventure in the best-selling Redwall series. The Long Patrol--that fighting unit of perilous hares--is called out to draw off the murderous Rapscallion army, and fight them to the death if need be. And the lead sword of the Long Patrol will be taken up by the young, inexperienced hare Tammo--in one of the most ferocious battles Redwall has ever faced.
