I listened to the audio version. It's an interesting concept, and one that would be completely valid if someone was exploring the universe, or even our own planet! Delaney's prose is very poetic, but this is old style sci-fi, where there are convenient contrivances that make the story work. It sometimes felt obtuse and a bit clunky trying to make those diverse elements work together. While I wouldn't rate it among my favorites, it's a decent, older style tale worth reading.
