About this listen
On the planet Summa Nulla (crossroads of the galaxy, high point of nothing) someone is manipulating the media. And Ruby, smart, tough, sexy detective that she is, is hired to track down the male-factors. The swinging Andriod Sisters perform speak-satirical songs as Ruby, the funny, fast-paced galactic gumshoe, encounters some pretty weird planetary inhabitants on her quest for truth and the intergalactic way.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

When Michael Moorcock began chronicling the adventures of the albino sorcerer Elric, last king of decadent Melniboné, and his sentient vampiric sword, Stormbringer, he set out to create a new kind of fantasy adventure, one that broke with tradition and reflected a more up-to-date sophistication of theme and style. The result was a bold and unique hero: a rock-and-roll antihero who would channel all the violent excesses of the '60s into one enduring archetype.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Enjoyable but Quirky.
I listened to this story on radio a number of years ago and was delighted to find it here. It is one of those listens that you just have to let it happen and not analyze it to death. It is a fun "Sci-Fi" story.

Really Fun Adventure! Awesome Soundtrack.
I grew up with Meatball Fulton's stories but never listened to Ruby until today! Holy Cow, what a wacky, and compelling adventure. Somewhat confusing and disorienting, but I believe thats the point.
absolutely loved the techno vibe and the music.
cant wait to hear the rest in the series!

I love this story.
They really should make this into a movie. Maybe someday they will. Or maybe a 3D animated movie.

I used to listen to Ruby on the radio. It is fun.
I used to listen to Ruby on the radio. It is a fun diversion like Dreams of Rio or Saratoga Springs.

The original Ruby
This is the original Ruby audio adventure, by ZBS. It is great, with a lot of fun listening, from beginning to end. It is difficult to describe, but maybe something like "'Word Jazz' with a scifi plot line" is close. Or, one could just say that Ruby is a galactic gumshoe - a Good One, and leave it at that. It was originally a full-cast theatrical radio broadcast serial, with music, sound effects. Not a "regular" audiobook. If you are a new listener you will notice updates and reprises between episodes, which is part of the fun, and helpful because there's a lot of action. For all the years that it's been out, it holds up very well, and definitely bears repeating. A true classic.

Campy fun radio serial style
Written by Meatball Fulton this is the start of ZBS Media's series Ruby the Galactic Gumshoe. Sort of Blade runner meets Tomb Raider, Columbo and the Marx Brothers. Endlessly entertaining and delightful. if you like old movies, puns and campy humor this is for you.
