Here is the third and final entry in the Intrepid Saga. This time we get to meet inhabitants of other star systems fleeing the oppressive caste based system of government. They manage to turn their mining rig into a ship, while evading notice of those in power until the last minute. The Intrepid arrives just as a battle is about to start where the entire working population will be wiped out as retribution for daring to take control of their own destiny.

After the battle the Intrepid helps build the Victoria settlement in return for the mining efforts of the newly free people. This takes around 50 years though so before they get to leave, other crisis's intervene over the decades though so leaving the system and continuing on their journey is at risk.

Again, another decent space romp with a bit of weak dialogue. I'd read it again.
