Tensions are running high when multi-billionaire Lars Sjoburg is poisoned and everyone is looking to Dash Gibson to solve the case in this third and final book in the New York Times bestselling Moon Base Alpha series.
Moon Base Alpha was supposed to be an exciting place to live, but Dashiell Gibson didn't expect for it to be this exciting. He's already had to solve a murder and locate a missing moon base commander. Now, he just wants to have a calm, quiet thirteenth birthday. But, of course, trillionaire (and total pain) Lars Sjoburg ruins it—by being poisoned.
Now there's another potential killer loose on Moon Base Alpha, and Dash is forced to identify the most likely suspects. Suddenly Dash finds himself with a target on his back. Whoever poisoned Lars will stop at nothing to keep his—or her—identity a secret.

Gr 4-6-In this third book in Gibbs's series, emotions and tensions are high among the colonists at Moon Base Alpha after snobby millionaire Lars Sjolberg is poisoned. What should have been an ordinary 13th birthday for Dash Gibson has turned into him solving a murder attempt. It starts as a somewhat ordinary morning for Dash when his father decides to take him on a bit of a moonwalk to play a game of catch. But this is no ordinary game of catch-both Dash and his father are breaking a number of rules by being outside the moon base. Angry demands from the mission commander to return inside soon give way to screams of terror and confusion. The final book in this series continues to deliver the mystery and mayhem that being isolated on the moon can cause. This is an excellent conclusion to a strong trilogy with the many clues and red herrings that mystery lovers expect. Everyone is a suspect, including Dash's own father. Long months aboard Moon Base Alpha and homesickness only add to the heightened tension. VERDICT Fans will enjoy this satisfying ending to a strong series.-William Anderson, Scott County Public Library, IN
