Ali here... :) Thanks for the link and I agree that D is much
larger than C. At least for that reason, learning C first or on
the side would still be good for the OP.
Regarding "Programming in D", although it covers most[1] of the
language, it specifically targets beginners; so, it may not be
too difficult for the OP. Just give it a try... :)

[1] Unfortunately, copy constructors and some of the other
recent features are still missing.
I am considering reading your book + Andrei's book +
documentation on the site. That would be my plan to learn D. Good
job with your book btw, I enjoyed a lot the parts I've read.
