Originally produced in three minute daily episodes for drive-time radio, Ruby is the ZBS foundations most popular story they've ever created. This audio adventure is very smart, with some good thinking interlaced with a witty story.

It's full of clever characters such as And/Or, the technician with an illegal love for a very special android, Angel Lips, the special android whose programmer gave her free will with mixed results, TJ Teru, the archeologist with a taste for plastic, and Ruby, the tough talking galactic gumshoe with the psychic power to stop time. Ruby is hired to find out who is controlling the media on Suma Nulla, and becomes mixed up with the mole people and The Tookah, a creature with four tentacles, three eyes, a blue mustache and red fez.

Fast-paced, funny, and highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars A detective in the future finds who is controlling the media, May 26, 1998

The plot is about a Detective in the future who is hired to find out what is manipulating media on the planet of Suma-Nula. It has some very funny and thought provoking charachters, like the Aurorian, who lives in a workless socioty. He is my personal favorite, because he explains all about a workless socioty to the main charachter during a shoot out, thus sneaking a very developed idea of another way to run a nation right underneath your nose. This Audiobook shows many diffrent aspects of todays socioty that way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun read, don't take it seriously, November 21, 2003

I listened to this during my commute and was almost sorry to get home. It is very light and fun to listen too. The plot was almost nonexistent but the personalities and action made that irrelevant.
