Rendezvouz On A Lost World - A. Bertram Chandler

"In a rebuilt, second-hand, obsolete ship, Kemp and his three comrades too off - determined to set up a shuttle between the planets at the Rim of the galaxy.

But trouble - in the form of two lost colonies, one inhabited by giant mechanical insects and the other ruled by the descendants of a murderous pirate - threatened. Kemp's crew began to wonder: just how much will a man sacrifice to realize a dream?"
