Ruby 10: The Black Star of Summa Nulla

ZBS has released the latest installment of the Ruby series! The ZBS email newsletter sent out notification that “Ruby 10: The Black Star of Summa Nulla” was released today and I immediately purchased it! Fans of ZBS know how much love and care goes into the production of every story they produce. From the mind-bending Meatball Fulton stories to the impressive scores by Tim Fulton, it’s always a good day when a new ZBS production shows up.

The ZBS website has this to say about the new Ruby story.’Ruby is back, and this time she’s out looking to twist Kapoor’s little neck. Yes, the Rodent has gotten her into yet another mess. How this came about – Kapoor started his own detective agency. He doesn’t call himself a P.I. (Private Investigator), he calls himself a P.S. (Private Snoop). But then he accepts a case that’s way over his head. It’s about a gemstone called The Black Star of Summa Nulla, a stone some people believe can predict the future.’
