About this listen
A new Ruby, but as snappy and sassy as ever. Our futuristic sleuth faces some grotesque new adversaries in screwball locations as she battles the manipulators of the electronic media. Will Ruby defeat the detractors of the truth and protect the perspective of credulous consumers, or desiccate in the dreadful desert of the Great Boosbooszees? From Kismet to the Ossirian Islands, Ruby's escapades move, twist, and shimmy!
A full cast production.

Story5 out of 5 stars 167,060
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 8,407
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

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.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

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.

Best Ruby in series IMHO!
Loved listening to these on public radio during the mid-80s! This is the best Ruby: funny, charming, dynamic, and the story themes still hold relevant today. Journey to Suma Nulla and meet fantastic characters on this wonderful, futuristic adventure. Ruby is a galactic gumshoe . . . a good one!

needs more than one listen
I absolutely loved Ruby 1, and this was a little different kind of story, because it explains some things and not others, so I had no idea that there actual story was, but like a lot of other things, I was overcomplicating a rather simple story, which became apparent when I gave it a second listen. The Ruby series is a high quality set of stories, and this one deals with a surveillance aspect that takes a little getting used to, but still very much a fun ride.

Not Ruby 1 by any stretch
I remember this being my least favorite edition when I had these on cassette over 20 years ago. Ruby stories are kooky, full of ridiculous jokes and padded with random skits. This felt like it was even more padded with these things. Which isn’t terrible, but I quickly felt the simple story get left in the dust for comedy skits and slap stick. Performances were great and foley artists were spot on with atmospheric sound effects.
I have this to complete my collection but won’t be hopping back to it for a while.

I keep listening over and over the years!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This series is refreshingly different and I can see it lending itself as a "cult" classic. The closest I can offer are Douglas Adams and Tom Robbins. I just loved the absurd humor in this.
I love the fact that the Ruby series are full cast and extremely well cast! I especially love the voice of the woman who plays Ruby. It's a combination of Humor, Fantasy, Science Fiction, mythology, and Spiritual Philosophies.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Ruby! Her comedic delivery is impeccable!

Aeon Flux meets Harvey Birdman
The story is almost non existent, but it doesn't really matter. This is an incredibly entertaining audio drama. More of a collection of vignettes that describe the world the characters inhabit. Lack of story aside, the world (which is the same from Ruby 1) feels incredibly fleshed out and the characters believable. The production quality is amazing; great voice acting and a great sound track. ZBS did such a good job on this and it's criminally under appreciated. You may love or hate this based on the lack of a coherent story, but it's not to be ignored either way. It's really a work of art.
