The second book about the Deep Black team is not better than the first. The only change is really that the characters are a bit more developed and with that I mean "a bit", not much and not enough to create any depth.
The story here is that Charlie Dean visits his old friend the biologist and finds a body from someone. There are also hints at a biological weapon being on the market and the race is on to find it before anyone gets hurt.
This book could also be the script for a bad action movie, or an episode of a bad tv series.
