The Man in the Velvet Mask
(Daniel
O'Mahony) |

On the Back Cover:
 'The
triumph of virtue. The misfortunes of vice. Who said the play had to be like
the book?'
24 Messidor, XXII: the TARDIS has landed in
post-revolutionary France, or so it appears. But the futuristic structure of
the New Bastille towers over a twisted version of Paris. And First Deputy
Minski, adopted son of the infamous Marquis de Sade, presides over a reign of
terror that has yet to end.
Revolutionary soldiers arrest an ailing Doctor as a curfew
breaker. Dodo is recruited by a band of wandering players whose intentions are
less than pure. Deep in the dungeons of the Bastille, Prisoner 6 tries
desperately to remember who he is. And outside time and space, a gathering of
aliens watch in horror as their greatest experiment goes catastrophically
wrong. |
