After spending her whole life on a space station, doctoral student Paige Ambroziak takes a job on a ship heading to a far distant almost mythological fleshworld to recover the ruins of The Manifest Destiny, a ship that crashed two hundred years ago. When the crew departs on their mission they meet more than they bargained for including skin-wrappers, descendants of the crew that wrecked The Manifest Destiny, and horrible parasites.

This was such a fun time to read. I previously was given a copy of the Skin-Wrappers short and that made me super want to read this. I loved it. Only gripe is that I wish some of the world building had a bit more clarification (exclusively because I just want more info on this world and stories set in it...somehow.). Highly recommend.
