Taming the Singularity

Lost any black holes lately? Dr. Geoffrey Finch experienced the ultimate oops! after using the Large Hadron Collider to successfully create a miniature singularity, which then fell out of its magnetic cage and into the ground when the French power grid suffered a small hiccup. The black hole is now orbiting the Earth's center of mass, slowly growing larger. It is predicted to consume the entire planet in two years. Dr. Barney Freeman and U.S. Navy Lieutenant Nicole Shelton are leading a team of the world's top scientists that have been tasked to stop it. They are not even sure how to reach it, until coming up with an audacious plan to extract the singularity from the Earth. In case they don't succeed, governments around the world frantically embark on a space race to build lifeboats to evacuate at least some of humanity off the doomed planet. Nikki Shelton finds herself face to face with the singularity, and discovers that taming it may take everything she has, and just a bit more.
