Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Ian Douglas' virtuosic Star Corpsman series proves one thing: The Marines are still the toughest sons of guns in the galaxy.

As Bravo Company defuses a hostage crisis on an orbiting mining station, Navy Corpsman Elliot "Doc" Carlyle not only saves the lives of a wounded Marine and two extraterrestrial friendlies - he averts a terrorist strike intended to kill billions. His reward? Deployment on a recon mission into the darkest depths known to man.

Abyss Deep is a foreboding ocean planet torn by extremes: boiling storm world on one side, unbroken glacier on the other. Humans established a research colony there to study the planet's giant sea serpents - but the colony has gone ominously silent. When Carlyle's team arrives, they discover a vessel belonging to a warlike alien species hovering above the atmosphere. But below the ice lurks a mystery so chilling it will make even Elliot Carlyle's blood run cold.

better than the first but with the same issues

repetitive exposition, flat characters that are essentially just 80s movie stereotypes. more aliens we can't understand that are "just like this thing we do understand" the narrator cheating on his girlfriend but "it's ok" because she kind of does offstage and after the infidelity. more "old taboos are dead" so we can openly objectify women. same "I'm a gentleman because I have old ideals about women in combat" oh and a reminder that all Civilizations fall but Merica and it's overinflated military will be around forever.
