All That Glitters (Paperback)

Paperback. Virgilio Vugteveen thought he was having a normal day - until he nearly hit an alien with his RV. One moment he's trying to talk his way out of trouble, and the next he's dragged into Uchion society, where usefulness is everything and "badges" determine whether you live or die. And Virgilio? He's never been useful a day in his life. Now stuck on an alien world with a widowed soldier and a child who immediately decides Virgilio is her new father, he's forced into military drills, cultural expectations, and responsibilities he never asked for. Earning badges becomes a full-time job, and every mistake threatens to get him killed - or married. What he didn't expect was that surviving Uchion might require something far more terrifying than aliens, combat, or culture shock: becoming a better person. This item is printed on demand.
