This is the third in the series that started with Moon Base Alpha. In this one Dash has now been on the moon for 8 months and it isn't getting any funner. Quarters are cramped, the food is lousy, and there isn't much for the kids in the space station to do. Dash enjoys his occasional visits from the alien, Zan, but otherwise he is pretty bummed that he still has 28 months left on the moon. Things get a little more exciting when someone tries to kill the most unpopular resident of the station, and the Nina, the base commander, asks Dash to help her find out who did it.I enjoyed the first two books in the series, and looked forward to reading this one. It did not disappoint. It has so much going for it; strong characters, an interesting setting, a well crafted plot and a generous helping of humor. This is a great choice for kids who love mysteries or who are interested in science fiction. (2018, 321 p.)
