About this ebook

New York Times bestselling author Ian Douglas's 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.

Ratings and reviews

Doggonit, every book this guy has written so far is a huge chocolate Sunday with a huge cherry on top! DELISHIOUS, AND NON FATTENING TOO. I can't wait for another serving of this man's fantastic concutions. So, tapping my spoon on the table, I await another exceptional read.

This book was fantastic I've never read a more in depth book that detailed relatively realistic medical knowledge as well as being steeped and packed with believable science fiction

A learning experience with in the non stop action.
