I, a novice reader, read this book since it was selected here and it was pretty short. Unfortunately, I found sections in the final third (from the Integral test flight on) tough to follow. As far as I understood, the test flight takes place but the planned takeover of the ship does not because the Mephi were betrayed to the secret police? Can someone confirm/correct this and maybe elaborate on why?
 

I understand that the book is more about its themes and social commentary than about the minutiae of the plot but this was something that took me out of it somewhat regardless.
