Origins
H.A.L.F. Series Book 3
by Natalie Wright
Genre: YA SciFi Fantasy
Alien predators attack Europe. A deadly virus spawns an epidemic. And a clandestine organization conspires to profit from chaos and forge a New World Order.
In this heart-pounding finale of the award-winning H.A.L.F. series, Tex, Erika and the rest are in a race against time. For months they‘ve fought for their lives. Now they battle to save us all.
Tex and Erika are fugitives again, running for their lives. But when Tex falls gravely ill, a Navajo healer is his only hope for survival. Tex emerges from the ordeal changed in body and mind but with vital information: how to stop the predatory M’Uktah from destroying those he has come to love.
Erika Holt seeks a respite from the constant threats to her life but she’s not about to give up. As she and Tex launch a mission to shut down the galactic highway used by the predatory M'Uktah, she grows closer to her troubled half-human companion. But what about her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Jack?
Jack Wilson, with his new friend Anna Sturgis, is determined to put an end to the Makers’ schemes for world domination. Complicating matters, an anti-viral that could save millions from an alien virus has been stolen.
As both alien and human forces line up against them, the destiny of all mankind is hand the hands of these young warriors. And time is running out.

The Four Seasons of
H.A.L.F.
If
you were a season, what season would you be? Are you a fiery, passionate
summer? A cool, calm winter?
I
had not considered this in terms of my characters while writing, but I recently
wondered what seasons are my characters?
Erika
Holt, the main character of the H.A.L.F. series, has a fiery nature. She’s
passionate about causes but nothing brings out her fire more than someone
messing with the people she cares about. She’d go to the ends of the Earth—and
beyond!—for her friends. Erika represents the heat of summer.
Tex,
aka H.A.L.F. 9, personifies the changeable nature of fall. One minute the
weather is mild, the next blustery. In autumn it’s like the weather is trying
to make up its mind. Tex can seem that way as well, but maybe it’s because he’s
still trying to figure out how to be human. Fall may be unpredictable, but we
love it anyway. That’s how Erika seems to feel about Tex too!
Of
all the characters you’ll meet in the H.A.L.F. series, I think Anna Sturgis is
like the cold breath of winter more than any of the others. With her icy blue
eyes and golden curtain of hair, she looks like a “winter,” and her personality
matches. It’s not that she’s a cold person. Jack gets to see her personable
side. But Anna is cool and collected, reasoned and logical. In short, she is
often everything that Erika isn’t. Can Jack fall for a winter girl after being
so in love with a summer?
Speaking
of Jack, he is a spring breeze. With his sun-kissed curly blonde locks,
laid-back flip-flops and loose-fitting jeans, Jack is like a shoot of bright
green new growth poking up through the soil. He’s a peace-loving,
guitar-strumming lover not a fighter. Jack faces life and death situations
throughout the H.A.L.F. series. After stepping over dead bodies on the
battlefield, will his sweet spring nature endure?

H.A.L.F. Series Book 2
"Conflicts with alien races are given enormous depth in this engrossingly written science fiction novel." ~Forewords Clarion Reviews
Roswell. Area 51. The X-Files.

And what if the Greys are only the beginning?
On a nondescript planet on the far side of the galaxy, the M'Uktah have evolved from a wolf-like predatory creature into a highly advanced species that has mastered intergalactic travel. They are cultured. Refined.
And hungry...

Library Journal eBook Selection
H.A.L.F. (Human Alien Life Form) #9 is the product of genetic engineering, the union of human and alien DNA. Created to be a weapon in a secret war we don't know is coming, he proved too powerful to control. He has lived for seventeen years in an underground lab, sedated and trained to be a cold-blooded killing machine.
But H.A.L.F. 9 has escaped the lab and the sedation has worn off. He has never been more alive. More powerful. Or more deadly.
While H.A.L.F. 9 revels in his newfound freedom, Erika Holt relaxes in the desert with friends. But a typical Saturday night soon erupts into chaos when fate brings her together with H.A.L.F. 9. Erika is forced to make a choice that will irretrievably change her life. If she chooses to help H.A.L.F. 9 escape, her fate will become intertwined with his in what will become an intergalactic adventure. Little do any of them know that their actions trigger a vast New World Order conspiracy which began after the UFO crash in Roswell in 1947. Will H.A.L.F. 9 be reeled back in, once again forced to do the bidding of the Makers? And will any of them survive the dangers of The Deep Beneath them?
