Warriors Cat Book Views

• Books

The second series, Warriors: The New Prophecy, was released from 2005 to 2006, and contains six books: Midnight, Moonrise, Dawn, Starlight, Twilight, and Sunset. This plot follows six cats: Brambleclaw, Tawnypelt, Crowpaw (later Crowfeather), and Feathertail, who are sent on a mission by StarClan to the sun-drown place (ocean), with Feathertail's brother, Stormfur and a ThunderClan apprentice, Squirrelpaw (later Squirrelflight), accompanying them. There, a badger named Midnight tells the six cats that Twolegs (humans)will be making a road that cuts across the Clans' territories, forcing the Clans to leave.

Super Editions are books in the Warriors series that are approximately double the length of a normal Warriors book. There are three Super Editions: Firestar's Quest, Bluestar's Prophecy and SkyClan's Destiny. They are standalone stories and as the titles imply, the first features Firestar, the second features Bluestar, and the third features the modern SkyClan a few months after Firestar's Quest. One more super edition is being written. It will feature the RiverClan leader Crookedstar, and will be titled Crookedstar's Promise; it is due to be released on July 5, 2011. In a newsletter it was revealed that Mapleshade (an evil cat introduced in Night Whispers) will also play a role in this book.[10]

Firestar's Quest, the first Warriors super edition, was released on August 25, 2007.[11] It covers the time between The Darkest Hour and Midnight, and fills many plot gaps between the books, such as Longtail's blindness, Willowpelt's death, and the birth of Leafpool and Squirrelflight. The book follows Firestar and Sandstorm, who go on a journey to restore SkyClan, the fifth Clan of the forest that had been driven out when a Twolegplace (town) was built, and was scattered when it was attacked by rats in its new home.

Four field guides have also been published. They offer extra information, usually in the form of short stories, and are usually about 150 pages long.[14] Secrets of the Clans is the first field guide to be released for Warriors. This book gives more details about the Clans never before revealed in the books. Cats of the Clans, featuring illustrations and descriptions of the cats, was released on June 24, 2008.[15] Code of the Clans, which describes the warrior code's origins, was released on June 9, 2009.[16] Battles of the Clans, released on June 1, 2010,[17] is about past battles and each Clan's special battle tactic introduced in the form of short stories.
