Publisher's Summary

In an act of heroism and self-sacrifice, Anderson Rawn's sister saved him from the destruction of their tiny mining colony, but her actions condemned the 13-year-old to 10 years of crushing loneliness on the hyperspace journey to a new home. Using electronics and desperation, Anderson creates a family to keep him company, but family isn't always a blessing. When Anderson finally arrives, C.J. Poulson greets him with curiosity and awe, because anyone who can survive a holocaust and reinvent holo-science is going to be a legend and right up C.J.'s alley. But the more C.J. investigates how Anderson endured the last 10 years, the deeper he is drawn into a truly dangerous fantasy, one that offers the key to Anderson's salvation - and his destruction.

In spite of his best intentions, C.J. can’t resist the terribly seductive Anderson. Their attraction threatens to destroy them, because the heart of a man who can survive the destruction of his people and retain his sense of self holds a solid core of alpha male that will not be denied.

    "Another Solid Story from Amy..."

    Amy Lane continues to be at the top of her game. The trials of Anderson and the dedication of CJ are just the topping to this great story. Family, survival, love, pain, joy, sadness...it's all here. Highly recommend...

    "Excellent!!"

    One of the best books I've listened to in quite a while. Lots of great story and fantastic ideas. I found it so good that I listened to the whole 11 hour story with only a short break. Kept me interested right to the end, and was able to evoke a very emotional reaction...both by story and the way it was narrated...unusual in today's writings. The narrator, Paul Morey, was superb! I will look for other books with this narrator!

    Story
    "So much potential"
    What disappointed you about A Solid Core of Alpha?

    This story hit the ground running but after a few hours, the pace started to lag. Also, I wish I'd got a warning about the bisexual content though. There wasn't much but still.


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    It probably won't be another Amy Lane for awhile. She's a great writer but lags.


    Have you listened to any of Paul Morey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I didn't realize Paul Morey had such range until now. Before, he seemed to just seemed like a good reader but not with a lot of different voices. He did a great job in this one and I am looking forward to reading anything he narrates again.


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    A bit disappointed because this could have been pretty deep but just kinda kept going in circles it seems.


    Any additional comments?

    Amy Lane's skill is undeniable but if only there were some books condensed down. The two main characters were likeable enough but the ones around them, there weren't many others that I'd say were any good. Toward the end, I just wanted it to hurry up and finish so that I can say I finished it.

    "I liked, but eh!"

    I did like... but is it a re-listen... probably not. Don't get me wrong...definitely worth the listen, just not worth the re-listen. Good story, plot and end and everything. Just... took to long for the romance I guess. 17 chapter long... that is just far too many for me...

    Morey does great narration in the m/m selections. Whenever I hear him I always think of Jorey Hardcourt though from Mary Calmes Bulletproof!

    Credit... do not buy
