RUBY is fast-paced and funny intergalactic entertainment the Marx Brothers would be proud of, with slick, splashy high-tech music and effects created by Tim Clark. The music and sound effects are stunning.
On the planet Summa Nulla (the high point of nothing) someone is manipulating the media. And Ruby, our hip, tough-talking detective is hired to track down the malefactors.
The Android Sisters perform their satirical speak-songs as Ruby, the galactic gumshoe, encounters some pretty weird planetary inhabitants on her quest for truth and the intergalactic way: The Tookah, with four tentacles, three eyes, a blue mustache and red fez, TJ Teru the archaeologist, Chief Molierre of the Mole People, sneaky little Rodant Kapoor, Angel Lips (the femme fatale of androids) and the Slimeys, genetically engineered assassins.
Originally broadcast around the world in 23 foreign countries: including the CBC, Canada, BBC, England and ABC, Australia.
The Mark Time Award for Best Science Fiction of the Year.
Ruby officially entered Science Fiction?s Audio Hall of Fame for Best Science Fiction of 1982.
