The audiobook, on 6 CDs, runs about six and a half hours. Although an adult male he does a good job giving voice to characters from young girls to old men. It was well narrated by Gibson Frazier, who has also narrated other books by Stuart Gibbs. I listened to the story on CD (provided to me by Audiobook Jukebox). Kids, particularly boys, interested in space travel or mysteries will really enjoy this fast paced adventure. Stuart Gibbs is the New York Times bestselling author of the Charlie Thorne series, FunJungle series, Moon Base Alpha series, Once Upon a Tim series, and Spy School series. Although parts of it are predictable, the ending was a surprise. There are lots of suspects, but it is easy to keep track of them. Dash senses there’s foul play afoot, but no one believes him. When Moon Base Alpha’s top scientist turns up dead.

It’s not the great space adventure everyone told him it would be. It is the year 2040 and twelve-year-old Dashiell Gibson is famous the world over for being one of the first humans to live on the moon and bored out of his mind. Humor and suspense combine in this space mystery. Both Space Case and Space 1999 feature moon colonies named Moonbase Alpha. As I started to listen to Stuart Gibbs’ Space Case, I had a little flashback to the 1970’s TV series Space 1999.
