Review: A little too simple and unnecessary

I felt this book was too detailed and simple. I could have skipped the middle 14 chapters, and not missed any plot developments. I really enjoyed the first book, and I know this book was written more to explain the makers and the confederation, but the explanation was really too much. I felt like I was being walked through a step by step manual of meeting a new species and what space combat is. The new alien species were also overly simplified, and the tour of their planets were all the same. Also the book has some grammatical and dialogue errors that can be distracting. Not a lot, but enough that it was noticeable. Honestly, I really feel like this book did not even need to be written. It could have been two chapters at the beginning of book three. If you are someone who cares more about the science of space travel than the story behind it, then this is the book for you.
