Starsea Invaders #2
Second Contact
The hunt was on —
William M. Corry, captain of the American super-sub, the U.S.S. Shenandoah, was certain his new mission was not as simple as it first seemed. His initial orders were for a shakedown cruise, but those were quickly countermanded by another directive to proceed to the Solomon Islands. Yet Corry's gut feeling was that this was all a coverup for something far bigger. And he was about to be proved right! Told to rendezvous with and take on board a scientific team, Corry learned that the Shenandoah was at last going to be allowed to track down the alien invaders who were based beneath the sea — and this time they were going to bring one of the creatures back alive!

Really liked the first book in this series. And it pains me to give a negative review to a book by Harry Stine, who I greatly admired. But this is a step down from the first; deciding to invoke just about every alien conspiracy trope to expand his setting feels like a mistake and it greatly reduces the feeling of verisimilitude he evoked in the first book. Still has its moments and I still enjoy the interaction of the characters, but it's just not as good as it started out to be.
