I very much enjoyed the first book in the Alamo series, and the plot behind the second book started equally as engaging.  Then for some crazy reason Mr. Tongue throws in a totally out of context, unbelievably lame sequence where Captain Marshall, the main character of the series and his tough as nails tactical officer discover a 40,000 year old dead alien that is so horrible to look at that these two battle hardened, command rank officers began vomiting and worse inside their spacesuits, go into hysterics and faint dead away.  Really?  Sheesh - that was so unbelievably cringe-worthy that it ruined the rest of the book.  What is particularly odd is that there doesn't appear to be a purpose to the scenario because it is hardly mentioned again in the story. Why put it in at all?  That probably has done it for me with this series.
