题目内容
【题目】If you love adventure and excitement, then Erin Hunter's best-selling Warriors series is for you. The fantasy books follow four cat clans(家族) as they try to survive in the wilderness. In the latest book, Thunder Clan warrior Ashfur has been mysteriously murdered. This sets three warrior cats named Holly leaf, Lion blaze and Jay feather on a journey to find the killer.
The three friends must deal with other problems, too. Jay feather is searching for his parents, but he must make up many lies to find them. Holly leaf encounters her own obstacles when her clan refuses to follow the warrior code. And Lion blaze discovers some unbelievable secrets. All the while, the cats face many dangers and the chance that another warrior will disappear forever.
“Erin Hunter” is really a pen name for Victoria Holmes and two other authors, Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry. They chose Hunter to cover the three of them because of Redwall, a very successful book written by Brian Jacques. It is a similar animal fantasy about rats and mice. Because Warriors was going to fit into that bracket,_they wanted their books to go onto the bookshelves next to his. So they needed a name that would be close to Jacques alphabetically(按字母排序地). Hunter fits perfectly.
“My favorite character is Jay feather. You never know if he is on the side of the angels or not. He's got a quite dark side. In terms of the cat that I would like to be my best friend, that would be Cinderpelt. She is so cool. She has a great sense of humor and she is a good medicine cat. Even if she wanted to be a warrior, she will make the best of her destiny. I really admire that in her,” said Victoria Holmes.
