“Warriors: Omen of the Stars #5: The Forgotten Warrior” by Erin Hunter is the story of three cats, Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Dovewing who must hold their clan together through an intricate web of deceptions and revelations that could doom them all.  Old enemies and friends alike walk the lake shores haunted by their past.  Old secrets condemn them all.  No one is safe.  Will the clans survive the turmoil that will shake them to their roots?
  
In previous books in the series, Dovewing found that her sister Ivypool had been traveling to the Dark Forest to train.  The Dark Forest was a place of never ending darkness where evil cats went after death.  Dovewing had managed to convince Ivypool to spy for her, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather.  But as the Dark Forest grows stronger, can any cat be held to their word?  Will the clans be torn apart by the deceptions of many a cat even before the Dark Forest cats attack?
 
Erin Hunter has written many Warriors books (a whole three series and part of a fourth) about four clans of cats that have constantly changing alliances and even wars.  The cats’ ultimate enemy is the twolegs (humans) who have destroyed the cats’ original habitat and continue to terrorize the cats and threaten them with monsters (cars, bulldozers etc...).  The books are all very good and so well written that you can just pick this one up and read it without having read the preceding books.  This book, like all her others, ends with a cliff hanger and you will be reaching for the next book.
 
I would recommend “Warriors: Omen of the Stars #5: The Forgotten Warrior” to people who like adventure and especially cats.  This was the fifth book in the fourth series.  Once you pick this one up, you won’t want to put it down until you finish it.  In this intricate story of mystery and deception, no one can be trusted, not even trusted clan mates.  This was a very good book and I can’t wait to read the next one.
