This second book in the series builds on the first admirably.  The writing has done nothing but improve in quality, and I'm amazed at the tone of the book.  What feels like a modern merging of the Bio of a Space Tyrant series and Ender's Game, Midshipman deals with a lot of REALLY heavy and serious themes with a lot of dark social implications, and yet, told through the viewpoint of the unbreakable, and yet all too human non-human, David, manages to stay a FUN read the entire time.  I destroyed this book in a day, reading snatches as I could on breaks and lunch, continuing after I got off work until I was finished.  I snagged the first book because it was free and looked interesting.  I bought the second book for a buck, but at this point, I'm not going to waste money buying them piecemeal, I'm getting the collected set. And you should to.  Thats right, this five star review is suggesting you NOT buy this book.  Buy this one http://www.amazon.com/David-Birkenhead-Omnibus-Phil-Geusz-ebook/dp/B00EK6K4J2/ , get them all.  I am.
