He’s a living weapon. She’s a teenage fugitive. Together they’ll uncover an alien conspiracy—or die trying.

Erika Holt keeps her entanglements to a minimum and her eyes on the horizon. She’s counting the days until she graduates, when she’ll motor out of her dusty, dying border town to start a new life by the sea.

But fate has other plans for Erika. When a quiet night in the desert turns deadly, Erika and her friends evade death with the help of a very odd stranger.

Created to be a weapon, HALF Nine can kill using only his mind. Part alien, part human, he’s never known kindness… until his escape from a top-secret facility brings him face to face with a courageous woman, unlike anyone he has ever known.

As Erika and Nine work to secure their freedom, they uncover a conspiracy as vast as the galaxy. Will they survive the secrets of the deep beneath?

A page-turning read filled with mystery and action, HALF: The Deep Beneath is a riveting novel about the power of friendship and the courage of the human heart.

  • Finalist in the 2015 Kindle Book Review Awards
  • Silver Medal 2015, Wishing Shelf Book Awards

Praise for HALF: The Deep Beneath:

“A fast-paced sci-fi adventure. Silver Medalist in the Wishing Shelf Awards and highly recommended.” ~Wishing Shelf Reviews

“The action is great, and the scene with the alien spaceship was crazy good. I found the ending to be quite surprising. It made me want to read the next one to see what happens both above ground and below. I recommend this to all fans of sci-fi adventures.” ~CJ Anaya, Best Selling Author of The Healer Series

“Once I began, I couldn't put it down. It’s well-written, fast-paced, and the characters are believable. I highly recommend this book and anxiously await book 2!" ~M. Williams

“Extremely exciting and fast-paced story that sucked me into its sci-fi vortex and wouldn't let me go. HALF 9 is probably my favorite alien hybrid of all time. Can’t wait for the next book!” ~Ms. I Read to Escape

H.A.L.F.: The Deep Beneath
By: Natalie Wright
I have had this book for a long time and I am so mad at myself for waiting to read it! It is so amazing!
It is about a human/alien hybrid breeding program by the government, and one of their specimens, HALF 9, escapes. 9 meets teens and trouble, they each help each other. The story gets crazier and very suspense filled as they try to get 9 to his 'cousins' that are trying to pick him up. 9 finds out he has a 'sister', HALF 10, along the way too but her personality is nothing as kind as his.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced sci-fi actioner with strong character dynamics
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2016

Just one of several books read of late that measured up to what other reviews made mention of and I thought was very reasonably priced as well. Given the problem of having to find something good to read for a low price since Amazon tightened the screws recently this one was well-written having plenty of twists & turns and leaves you hanging wanting for more. Glad to have uncovered this one from the 4,000+ books I downloaded the past year or two and was indeed a worthy read which I'm surprised can be still be had for only a buck (A bargain considering the print price). Proof positive there's still some fine reads out there for a small sum and one I would give the thumbs up!

I downloaded H.A.L.F.: Deep Beneath, book one of the Human-Alien Life Form series, as a free book from Amazon. A unique, action-packed story. I was caught up in it with surprising ease. The characters were not as strong and defined as I like, but the little surprises--like that ending--made it a nice afternoon read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of Action and Suspense and Exciting Supernatural Powers and Possibilities, Can't Say Enough Good About this Sci-Fi
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2015
Verified Purchase
Four and a half stars. I bought the book based on a blog post about how the cover and blurb had enticed the blogger. I read the blurb and searched immediately to find the book. I was not disappointed in the least. Extremely exciting and fast-paced story that sucked me in its sci-fi vortex and wouldn't let me go. Excellent descriptions of settings had me imagining everything in detail and as if I were watching a movie. I loved the interplays between the characters, and thought the villain was portrayed well as far as motive and despicability. (Yes I made up that word.) Really loved Erika, and thought she was well done as a protagonist. Her motives and personality were consistent throughout the story. Great supporting cast as well, and H. A. L. F. 9 is probably my favorite alien hybrid of all time. Did find a number of typos in the middle of the text, so hopefully author can read through another time and polish it up. Can't wait for the next book!

First time I have read this author. Impressive. Although it was not as fast-paced as other similar plots I have read, it was good enough that I have bought the next book in the H.A.L.F. series.
