 Waste Of Space is a Children's Science Fiction Mystery novel by Stuart Gibbs. It's the third and final entry in the Moon Base Alpha series.It's been some time since Nina's brief disappearance, and life continues on as normal on MBA. In fact, it's Dash's birthday today, and his dad decided to bring him out on the lunar surface to play some low-gravity catch with him. Sadly, it's not meant to last. Nina caught them outside and ordered them to come in, since they broke a bunch of rules by doing what they did. However, on their way in, they get word of a shocking event.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Lars Sjoberg has been poisoned.Seems there was something in his lutefisk, and when he ate it, it started making him act weird. Since Dash solved two mysteries on the base already, Nina pretty much drafts him into solving this one as well. However, it becomes a lot more complicated when a deadline is put on his investigation. Seems Moon Base Alpha's oxygen systems are failing, and the oxygen supplies are dropping. If Dash wants to find out who tried to poison Lars, he'll need to do it now.The book was published on April 24th, 2018.

 Afraid of Needles: Cesar Marquez is this, as noted by Dash. When a syringe full of cyanide gets jabbed in his thigh, Cesar shrieks and passes out.

 All for Nothing: The mystery in the third book is an attempt to poison reviled Corrupt Corporate Executive and space tourist Lars Sjoberg. Lars poisons himself with the help of his daughter Lily to force the moon base to send him home early because of how miserable he is (the allocation of space on cargo shuttles is keeping him from getting regular permission to leave). Unknown to Lars, everyone on the base is about to be evacuated because of equipment failures and all his efforts achieve nothing but leaving him humiliated, in legal trouble, and facing an ugly divorce when his wife disapproves of his cowardly efforts to make Lily take all of the blame.
