Gravitational Waves from New Jersey Signal Trouble in Yantus SciFi Thriller
Sizyl announces the release of Paul Yantus’ sci-fi technothriller, "Black Void Retribution." When physicist Dr. Andrea Coster's revolutionary nuclear waste disposal technology - powered by scalable black holes - is hijacked by vengeful former operatives, rogue colliders begin swallowing dense radioactive material and causing unearthly gravitational anomalies. Available now across major distributors and on Kindle Unlimited.
Charlotte, NC, September 05, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Sizyl announces the release of Paul Yantus’ new novel "Black Void Retribution," available today at all major book distributors. Black Void Retribution is a science-fiction thriller that pits Nobel physicist Dr. Andrea Coster against a vengeful former executive as nuclear waste disposal turns lethal.
Using the technology she developed in "Black Void: Nowhere to Run’ "Dr. Coster has built an empire disposing of hazardous waste in microscopic black holes. Now, former employees fired for their participation in off-book ops want revenge, and strange phenomena are occurring at waste disposal facilities.
Gravitational wave detectors in Washington, Italy, and Japan register a signal that should be impossible, but it is coming from the northeastern United States, not from space. The source is a chip-sized collider that opens small black voids to eliminate waste.
A waste manager informs Dr. Coster that the New Jersey plants have quietly begun swallowing nuclear material, far denser than anything she approved. Standing in the observation area overlooking a 60-ton container of nuclear waste as a black void opens, she feels gravity crush her chest and suddenly begins to experience visions of a place she’s never been. She halts radioactive disposal that very day.
Meanwhile, a fired executive recruits a former Marine, a hacker, and a procurement specialist to seize her research and sell it. Yantus writes into a live argument: nuclear power is expanding again while spent fuel still has no permanent home. The answer is a technology that works too well.
Coster carries an inheritance of her own, as granddaughter of Lise Meitner, denied the Nobel for co-discovering fission. Black Void Retribution alternates between her team, her enemies, and a disgraced Caltech physicist paid half a million dollars to rebuild the device. It should appeal to readers of Blake Crouch and Daniel Suarez, and to anyone tracking who controls a discovery once it leaves the lab.
“I’m so pleased to bring this exciting story to market,” Yantus said recently. “I didn’t intend a sequel to ‘Black Void: Nowhere to Run’, but everyone who read it wanted to know what happens next. The technology is deadly, and the characters have to balance using it for good while trying to protect the world from it.”
‘Black Void Retribution’ picks up where the last book left off, but can be read independently. It is available for free on Kindle Unlimited, and for $ 0.99 as an eBook and $19.99 in paperback at all major book distributors.
