Publisher's Summary
'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.

Continuity
- According to the novel, Time Lords grow their second heart after their first regeneration (an attempt to rectify the implication in DW: The Edge of Destruction that the First Doctor had only a single heart). This notion has yet to be supported by any televised episode, with one episode, DW: The Christmas Invasion, suggesting that one of a Time Lord's hearts can stop due to trauma or illness, and another, DW: The Doctor's Daughter, possibly contradicting it.
Timeline
- The Man in the Velvet Mask occurs after VD: Tarnished Image
- The Man in the Velvet Mask occurs before ST: There are Fairies at the Bottom of the Garden
