Procyon's Promise, by Michael McCollum. Del Rey 1985.

Ugh. Not only does he have such obvious boners as antimatter black holes
and alien species that act totally irrationally for no apparent reason,
but he hasn't ever heard of copying a file, secure networks, or propogation
delay. A good read if you can forget everything that's happened since
1920... too much suspension of disbelief needed for me, I'm afraid. I
don't remember the prequel (Life Probe) being so shoddy, but that could
just be a selective memory.
