Character · from book 2

Ripper Wonton

Host of Danger Zone, a disgustingly cute Setonix — a quokka — in an orange Fred-from-Scooby-Doo scarf, fair to his guests and furious at his friend's murder. His director Evo is a Soother, a glowing, hairless race whose likeness turns up in Earth's alien stories; the Null, Evo says, are the ones humans called the Grays. The show's round table is where Carl gives the speech.
