Leigh is one of better but almost forgotten writers who started with the SF magazines. She wrote dozens for the pulps before she began writing novels.

This one is pretty average for 60s SF and not her best work but still a good story. I will be looking for more of her books in my continuing quest for good Classic SF.

My 1963 version is by ACE but not a double book. The story focuses on those who want to strike out on their own and get away from the over restrictive government. Danger from behind and the unknown ahead.
