An asteroid strike on the moon has left it with a ring of deadly spores that are drifting down to Earth.
Growing up under that moon, Tahira promised her childhood friend, Zareen, that tackling the crisis would overcome the national divisions that separated them. Tahira is now a biologist for a corporation constructing experimental towers, which force the spores, known as "riebeckites", to germinate into harmless colonies. Rumors of riebeckite colonies taking sinister flesh-eating forms among the ghettoized Iranian communities are dismissed as propaganda invented by those opposed to Azeri occupation.
But when Tahira makes a discovery linking these stories to the Skyscrubber towers, her findings are inexplicably suppressed, and she is framed as a terrorist. In a race for her freedom and her life, Tahira has only one person she can rely on: Zareen, now an Iranian freedom fighter. Together they must escape Azeri police and Iranian militants, and survive the horrifying next stage of the riebeckites’ development. Only if they expose the truth can the world unite against a danger which has been gathering at its feet while everyone was watching the sky.
Riebeckite combines suspense and conspiracy with heart-in-mouth action sequences and nightmarish encounters, all in an immersive near-future setting, and, at its core, is a heartwarming story of friendship against the odds.

This self-published book grabbed me right away! It set a good pace and kept it up until the end. The riebeckites are unique and interesting, and the characters are engaging. I really liked the main character and her best friend. It was an enjoyable read. I can’t wait for the sequel!
An enjoyable, fast-paced book

I could not put Riebeckite down and enjoyed every single page of it. This fast-paced SciFi book with Thriller elements is set in the middle-east in the not too distant future. The moon has been hit by an asteroid and now small alien particles are gathering on earth. If they are blue, they are mostly harmless, but don’t let them get in contact with a prime! They turn into a cluster of hungry Riebeckites that eat through your flesh and bone in seconds. If that’s not bad enough, Tahira, our main character, stumbles into a wide-reaching conspiracy involving the aliens that could change life as we know it.
This book is full of unique ideas and enjoyable characters. The plot doesn’t slow down and you can only keep reading because you need to know what happens next. I can’t wait to continue with the series and figure out how Tahira, Zareen, and the others will get out of this mess…
I read the physical book first and listened to the audio later on. I’m loving the narration (and I’m not a huge audiobook person). Natalie adds such a great atmosphere to the story.
Strong and smart female main characters, vibrant setting, and a great twist on Marvel’s Symbiots.
