Not a dead-tree book (unless you print it), but good for a person in your 
position, is /Ada Distilled/ by Richard Riehle

http://www.adaic.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Ada-Distilled-24-January-2011-Ada-2005-Version.pdf

It's Ada-95, but once you've got that down you can easily absorb the changes 
from more recent versions.

The information at

http://www.adaic.org/learn/materials/

will no doubt be useful to you.
