The Man in the Iron Mask

Written by Alexandre Dumas

Narrated by Geoffrey Sherman

The final rousing adventures of Alexandre Dumas' Three Musketeers

Deep inside the dreaded Bastille, a twenty-three-year-old prisoner called merely "Philippe" has languished for eight long, dark years. He does not know his real name or what crime he is supposed to have committed. But Aramis, one of the original Three Musketeers, has bribed his way into the cell to reveal the shocking secret that has kept Philippe locked away from the world. That carefully concealed truth could topple Louis XIV, king of France—which is exactly Aramis' plan.

A daring jailbreak, a brilliant masquerade, and a terrifying fight for the throne may make Aramis betray his sacred vow, "all for one, and one for all!"

In this concluding episode of the Three Musketeers saga, the actions of Aramis and the other Musketeers—Athos, Porthos, and the most dashing of them all, D'Artagnan—bring either honor or disgrace…and a horrifying punishment for the final loser in the battle royal.

Reviews for The Man in the Iron Mask

[RUE · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The last installment of this great adventure was very exciting; we see our great heroes transformed into legends, mature men with impressive strength. I loved their changes, I embraced and adored their father figures, I hated Luisa and Montalais, I tried to understand Luis, I shared in Raúl's pain; each had a reason, and although it is not a justification, they had their motives for acting. Magnificent work and masterful ending. (Translated from Spanish)

While reading it, I was left speechless; however, upon finishing it, I was a bit disappointed. (Translated from Spanish)
