Agent Van of the CIA is sent to an Australian underground military surveillance base called Pine Gap. Agent Van finds himself thrown in a conspiracy cover up of an ancient alien race known as species X. He falls in love with Annika, a mysterious and uncommon woman who displays unusual abilities, leading Van to question her own origin. Mystery and horror explode around Agent Van during a cave diving exhibition to search for a lost colleague referred to as Agent One. The only clue for Agent Van and his team is a cryptic message carved on a wall inside the bleak cave that reads “Agent One is gone. No more Agent One.” Terror arrives as the agents are trapped inside the ominous cave. Agent Van soon learns that there is more to Pine Gap than Species X.

The Review

This is every sci-fi readers dream book! A phenomenal read that explores several different aspects of the science fiction genre. From time-travel and influence of alien species on the development of the human race, to worlds within the Earth's core and creatures born of scientific experimentation, this is the ultimate sci-fi read.
While the mythology of alien creatures and the world at large the author created is what initially draws the read in, it is the emotional and relatable backstory and character development of protagonists Agent Van and Annika that really keep the reader invested. The romance that blooms between the two heroes of this tale helps the romance and sci-fi genres blend beautifully in this novel, and the author does an amazing job of creating a cast of characters both good and bad that elevate Van and Annika's journey ten-fold.

The Verdict
This is a must read book of 2019. One of the best sci-fi reads of the year, the author has created a rich mythology and sci-fi story that readers will be clamoring for more of. While the story has a satisfying conclusion that readers will love, it also introduces enough story elements to hint that a much larger mythology that awaits discovery. An engaging and evenly paced read, this is one of my 2019 Must Read Sci-Fi novels, and if you haven't yet you should grab your own copy of "Hybird" by Rebecca Henry today! - 5 Stars (Anthony Avina)

From the Author

I spent two years researching material for Hybrid. I became fascinated by the speculation of ancient aliens and the civilizations some theorists have linked them to. Thanks to the show Ancient Aliens, Hybrid was born. I became inspired by the ancient theorists and their historical evidence depicted on the show. This inspiration plunged me into writing one of the most complex novels I have ever written.

A thrilling scifi adventure that keeps surprising you!

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

I hesitated between four and five stars, until finally going with five. Let me shed light on it.

I enjoyed this read very much. It was a thrilling read, and the action was there almost straight from the start. I never knew what was around the next corner; the direction I expected this book to take was changing all the time as I got deeper into the story. The twists kept surprising me.

I appreciate all the knowledge this book contained, the theories and history of our own Earth. This book had plenty of action, scifi elements and horror. If you are into alien stories, this book is definitely for you.

So why hesitate between four and five stars? I want to stress I really enjoyed reading this book, but it contains elements I am personally not too fond of. "Instant love" is one of my dislikes, but here, I admit, it had a certain history behind it which made it forgivable. Building character personalities was also perhaps a little lost under the action, but I admit I loved Doc and the others as support for Van. The core team worked awesome together, and I had many exciting and terrible moments following their progress through this story.

So, while a certain instant love quality does exist here, and personalities could have had more time to develop, on the whole the action and gripping intrigue was strong, and I found myself accepting things as-is.

I think this was a good read and it kept me entertained.

(A similarly worded review of this book also appears by me on Goodreads)

Aliens.....Science Fiction...Prehistoric Animals....Alien Invasions

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2019

Agent Van is assigned a new job in Australia at an underground military surveillance base called Pine Gap. At Pine Gap Van meets a young woman Annika whom he has an instant attraction to. It just happens to be his lucky day as Annika is one of his new partners.

Van and Annika’s first assignment together is to go in a cave to look for Agent One who has not returned. There is more in the cave than Van was ever expecting. In the cave they have to fight alien creatures as they are making their way through the cave looking for the agent.

These aliens have been around for a long time longer than most humans even know. Yeah well most humans don’t even know they exist in the first place. Ever since the invasion humans have been slaves to the aliens helping them to survive.

Hybrid reminds me a lot of the alien invasion movies and Journey to the Center of the Earth and Land of the Lost as Van and Annika’s world is filled with fighting aliens, alien creatures that are animal like as well as prehistoric/alien creatures. I could picture all of this in my head as I was reading Hybrid. I could just see Van, Annika and their team as they were running around fighting the aliens and trying to save the world and just trying to stay alive.

The descriptions were written so well that I could vividly see it in my mind’s eye as if I was right there with them as one of the characters myself. Hybrid is one of those books you would like to see on the big screen. I just loved Van and Annika’s sci-fi world with the aliens and monster animal like creatures.

If you like aliens, science fiction, prehistoric animals, alien invasions then this is one book you are going to love…Hybrid.

::no spoilers ahead::
Sci-fi! Horror! Romance! WOW this book has it all! I don’t usually write book reviews, but I had to for this one because it was such a stunner.
I’m a huge sci-fi fan and have read literally hundreds of sci/fi books. I usually can see plot twists coming from a mile away, but this book had me guessing till the last page. It had all my favorite elements of sci-fi, combined with crazy action and terrifying monsters. Start this one early and prepare to stay up late to finish it, because I couldn’t put it down. But I wasn’t going to be sleeping anyway, because some of the scenes were a major creepfest. I couldn’t get it out of my mind, so a week later I read it again and this is one of those rare books you’ll enjoy even more on the second read. I picked up on so much the second time around.
My favorite character was Doc. He had me in stitches, but all the characters are so unique and quirky and interesting, you can’t help but fall in love with all of them.
The edition I read had a chapter from the author’s next book Conjure Lake in it, and I will definitely be picking that one up.

Hybrid by Rebecca Henry was a fast paced gushing through your veins read! It was addictive I put it down and five minutes later there I was reading again. At the end I wanted to scream, “No! This can’t be done?!” It went by so quickly as all good things seem to do. Simply a must read as Fall and Winter wrather are likely to keep you indoors by the lightning your favorite reading light.

Very weird story. I don’t usually read stories told from first person perspective. I think it limits the author in telling the story because you can’t know what other characters are thinking, or what their motive’s are. This author’s descriptive skills are weak, as far as I am concerned.

Rebecca Henry's "Hybrid: Adapt or Die" is a beautiful blend of adventure, spirituality, science, nature, aliens, mythology, love, friendship, and much more! The writer did a great job with the storyline and the characters.
It's a great book with surprises and a sweet ending. If you like sci-fi and romance, this is for you!

Incredibly creative and full of adventure! I loved it! Doc & Van were my favorite and that touch of the raven at the end... almost as if it was a subtle tie in to her last book with a dark raven (spookey). Well done Rebecca.

Fantastic!

World of Aliens build by Rebecca Henry captures you from the first page, wanting know more and read further. And it wan't be disappointing, alien autopsy, underground snakes, humans trying to keep the fragile equilibrium between humans and species X. Wonderful plot where are twisted romance, sci fi and science research. Annika and Agent Van, agent Jude, Armstrong i like them all, but my favorite one was Doc , his humor the way how he is "The more i learned of the Doc, the more i loved the man",Agent Van, "Hybrid" Rebecca Henry .
Hybrid was a good reading for me, at last page i was like "Oh no, that's all?!" Hope to read the the next chapter about adventures of Agent Van, Annika and petite Cybill.

Must read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 9, 2019

My goodness! After reading this (well after every chapter really) I needed to take a step back and just process. From the very beginning of Hybrid I was shocked and surprised. I really didn’t know where this was going to go or how it would pan out! I found myself really savouring this read, I both couldn’t wait to and at the same time dreaded finishing it.

I had to put the book down after Chapter 3 because it was late and I managed to freak myself out! I then kept all my limbs tucked in tight to sleep just in case.
I needed to rush through chapter 6 to find out what had happened ‘down there’ because I felt like I was going to cry.
I had to pause half way through Chapter 7 and just take a moment to awwwww at the romance.
What I’m trying to say is that if an emotion exists, this book WILL make you feel it!

Hybrid is at first glance one of those typical alien infiltration, government secret type books. But as you read, a complex race, history and society is revealed and with every page you realise exactly how much thought and care the author put into planning every aspect of this book! The plot is fairly fast paced which I enjoyed and it kept you in just the perfect amount of suspense. There was never a moment where I felt like it was too fast and I was infinitely grateful when Agent Vans questions were answered in a direct way with no faff or ‘you shall find out soon’
The protagonist Van, isn’t at all what you expect. I went into this expecting a typical macho CIA agent. But what I got was a complex human I couldn’t put into a box and could yet to relate to nonetheless. Annika was similarly surprising! And my god was her true identity/role a PLOT TWIST and a half or what! I seriously did not see THAT coming. Or the other thing or basically anything onwards of Chapter 10.

But no spoilers if you want to know you have to read!

My whole experience reading this book has been so amazing that I really can’t give it anything less than 5 stars! I loved it and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a sequel. Or bonus content that would be awesome too! 🙌🏽

Good escapist fiction

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 5, 2023

Hybrid is a surreal horror-scifi novella which, despite that not being one of my preferred genres, I chose to read for its vegan author. The adventure is set almost entirely underground, in an American facility under Australia, and incorporates alien species, the last of the dinosaurs,the remnants of a long dead civilisation and an insta-love romance. I told you it was surreal! While I didn't find the storyline in any way plausible and I did have to read several of the gorier scenes through my fingers (yes, I'm a wuss!), I did find Hybrid to be an entertaining read. There's a lot of gung-ho action and just-in-time escapes from seemingly insurmountable predicaments. I was intrigued by the cave complex which is vividly described and, for anyone with even a light sense of claustrophobia, is pretty terrifying. I would have liked deeper character portrayals - other than our first person narrator, Van, everyone else seemed rather too predictable. I didn't come away from Hybrid with any sense that its premise might actually be real, but overall this is a fun story and a good bit of escapist fiction.

If you like science fiction, aliens (Phylax), monsters like creatures (Tlalocs), action, horror and romance, you will love this book. It has everything and more! The author builds a whole world underground, a military base Pine Gap. Agent Van is assigned to the base where he meets Annika and a romance blossoms. You will cheer them on. But there is darkness, with fierce fighting against these terrifying monsters aliens. Lots of twists and turns will keep you hooked to the end. I really enjoyed this book!
