Science fiction story that took place on Mars where they discovered a primordial black hole as a power source, of course the villain released it killing someone in the process....

Thought such black holes were unstable ?
It might go to the center of the Earth or it might srping off elsewhere depending on the trajectory it has when first created. But even if it did start sucking down matter it could take millions of years or more for it to grow into anything remotely menacing. That's how infinitecial it'll be at the start.

As for stability at this point guesses from you or I are just as good as those who know more.
