Trying to remember a book title 2.
Discussion
This was a Sci Fi book I read twenty years ago.
It involved a large wrecked spaceship on t he edge of a wormhole, it had been there for generations.
The local planets had been populated, the lower class lived on a mining planet, the upper classes lived on the spaceship, it followed a character leaving the mines and ending up on the ship, the oak ended on a cliffhanger as the ship fell into the wormhole.
I think it formed a prequel to a series of books but was stand alone.
Strange one I know, and not much to go on, any ideas?

The only thing that springs to mind is "A Gift from Earth" by Larry Niven.
Upper classes (the crew) living on the old slow colony starships, the lower classes miners.
No wormholes, but the ship does fall off a really tall cliff (the only land on a waterworld) into 'the void'(40 mile drop) so pretty close.
The prequel aspect; there's an epilogue where aliens are following a probe to the colony, presumably for first contact.
