Graviton

by Stephen Clark Reese

Jack Redman, a brilliant engineer and owner of Redman Industries in Texas, stumbles upon an accidental scientific breakthrough while experimenting with a supposed perpetual motion machine. Instead of endless energy, Jack and his friend Rick discover a phenomenon that manipulates gravity itself—objects float, fall, or shift unpredictably. Realizing they may have uncovered a way to generate and control gravity waves, Jack secretly develops the technology, codenamed the Graviton.

As Jack struggles to refine the invention with the help of his colleagues, he also wrestles with strained relationships—particularly with his teenage son Robert, still grieving the loss of his mother but showing talent of his own through inventive projects. The deeper Jack and his team go into experimenting with gravity manipulation, the clearer it becomes that their discovery could change the world—or destroy it if it falls into the wrong hands.

The novel blends scientific discovery, family drama, and ethical dilemmas, exploring how one accidental invention could shift the balance of power and redefine humanity's future.

When humanity unlocks gravity itself, the future is no longer bound to Earth—
but neither are its dangers.

Jack Redman never asked to become the guardian of a technology that could reshape civilization—or end it. Haunted by prophetic dreams and hunted by enemies who will stop at nothing to control his discovery, Jack faces impossible choices that could determine the fate of millions.

Meanwhile, his son Robert—young, fearless, and brilliant—pushes the limits of invention with gravity-defying suits, experimental implants, and daring flights that carry him ever closer to the edge of the unknown. But curiosity comes with a cost, and not all who covet Graviton technology seek peace. From corrupt financiers and rival corporations to terrorists armed with nuclear ambitions, the threat of catastrophe grows with every breakthrough.

As betrayal strikes from within and enemies close in from every side, Jack and Robert must fight not only for survival, but for the soul of their invention. Can they guide humanity toward transcendence—or will the power of the Graviton usher in a new age of destruction?

Graviton 2 – Transcendent is a heart-pounding blend of science fiction and techno-thriller, where family bonds, moral choices, and the race for survival collide on the brink of humanity's greatest leap.

The Redman legacy continues as humanity steps into a new era, where gravity, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence converge to unlock possibilities once thought impossible. But with every leap forward comes a shadow: enemies who would twist these powers into weapons, and a world struggling to define what it means to remain human. Jack Redman and his allies must navigate not only powerful corporations and hostile governments, but also the hidden dangers of a realm where information itself can kill.

From boardroom intrigue to digital battlefields, from the depths of cyberspace to the stars above, Graviton 3 – Prevenient delivers a high-stakes clash of science, morality, and survival.

Graviton 4: Ascendant follows Jack Redman and his team as they develop revolutionary gravitational technology in secret, eventually forming an independent enclave known as the Republic of Acadiana. Centered on themes of technological ethics, government overreach, and personal responsibility, the story explores the implications of advanced medical and space travel capabilities, including MedBeds which can cure major diseases and spacecraft designed for interplanetary travel.

Jack and his team face mounting pressure from the U.S. government, particularly President Carson Moore and FBI Director Carl Stanton, who attempt to seize control of the technology. As tensions rise, the team must protect their innovations while deciding how to responsibly share them with the world.

The plot blends political intrigue, futuristic science, and personal drama. It includes espionage, attempted abductions, and heroic rescues, while also delving into philosophical questions about power, trust, and the future of humanity. Central characters include Jack's son Robert, a gifted engineer with enhanced abilities, and journalist Carla Sanchez, whose broadcasts reveal the group's existence to the public.
