Synopsis

Can a 200-year-old prophecy and a non-believer save two worlds from destruction?

Linsora Anselm is a Khizaran archeologist. She “hears” voices from the past, making her perfect for the job, but she’s stuck in prison after sticking up for her principles—that is, until a mysterious individual pays the guards to help her escape. How will she react when she discovers her champion is the devil incarnate?

When Permac breaks Linsora out of prison, he can’t understand why. He’s drawn to her… but she threatened to kill him more than once because she doesn’t trust his ability to sense and influence emotions. She believes he and his race are evil, and she could be right.

Forced together, they journey through the cosmos in search of historical facts they (and the rest of the galaxy) thought were correct. They discover pockets of truth on faraway planets—as well as a 200-year-old prophecy that seems to intertwine Linsora and Permacs’ destinies.

Through a galaxy of fate, love, deception, and the unknown, Permac and Linsora must learn to trust each other to protect their two worlds. Otherwise, the prophecy says war will annihilate everything in its path.

Khizara is an action-packed, adventure-filled space opera of mystery, love, archaeology, and bad guys that can control the emotions of others with a thought. If you’re a fan of Issac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, or Frank Herbert, you’ll love this story.

Author Biography

Drew Bankston lives in the Rocky Mountains with his wife, two amazingly perfect dogs, and a garden.

Before he started writing science fiction, Drew received his bachelor’s degree in Bio-Ag Sciences from Colorado State University. After that, just to shake things up, he never really used that degree but worked various jobs in retail and Asset Protection with some really important people who are way too dignified to be named here. He’s still working but would eventually like to write full-time and stop working for other people. He likes pie and chocolate, as everyone should.

When I created this Terran Captain, I wanted to portray someone who loves what he does, but a person who is also tired of the routine of a captain whose crew changes much too often. Haavens was born. Our captain is signing up new crew members which is the perfect way for out heroes to escape this planet. The good captain is about to meet Permac and Linsora, two individuals who only needed each other long enough to reach this point in line. Time will tell who will win out, but I'm guessing it will be the one with the most authority...maybe.

Book Excerpt

Khizara

Linsora and Permac inched toward a uniformed man seated at a small table at the back of the room. His yellow-blonde hair stuck up in odd tufts, as though he had run his hand through it too often. The crew intake terminal blinked red, indicating the wrong sequence of his prior entry for a crew member. He looked up at Linsora with clear, steady eyes.

“You’re next.” His voice rumbled in his chest. “I’m Captain Haavens. Before you ask, and you look like you might, yes it’s unusual for the commander of a ship to be processing crew. Yes, I look tired and I’ll probably never live to be as old as I look. And yes, I’ve been at this all morning or whatever the hell time it is here and this chair is eating into my backside as much as this whole situation is eating into my gut. And no, I’m not good at this so it’s taking a while. Just an advisory. You don’t look like the patient type and I’m not in the mood for complaints. Got it?”

Linsora moved forward with a shrug.
