Recently, some rumors have been circulating about Brian’s post-Loamhedge book, #17 of The Redwall Series, and the possibility that it will be entitled “Racatetan”.
I’ve been following this story closely and have had to keep a few bits of information to myself, but, here’s what I’m now able to confirm for you about those rumors:
The actual title of the book is Rackety Tam, who is also the main character of the story, a warrior squirrel.
While discussing Rackety Tam with the Cincinnati Enquirer, Brian said of the title character, “Sounds like a real brawler, doesn’t he? He came from the north with Wild Dougie Plum, a little Highland squirrel with a thick brogue.”
Rackety and Dougie are reportedly mercenaries, which Brian describes as “selling their swords”.
We can expect to see Rackety Tam hit shelves in September, 2004.
