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.

Planning Revenge

I have had situations when I feel pretty helpless. Situations where I despise what's going on and possibly the person involved with the situation, but I have little to no control over what's happening. Has that ever happened to you? In my mind, during that moment, I plan revenge. Do I carry through with it? Seldom, but planning and plotting the revenge certainly feels good. It turns me into a braver image of myself and one who can ignore the rules of society without actually committing the crime. Is this odd do you think? Probably not. My character is like this in the scene which you're about to read. She's just waiting and plotting. See why and enjoy this segment of "Khizara", book one int he Tokorel series.

Book Excerpt

Khizara

“Linsora!” He leaped to his feet, using her name as a reprimand. “Stop that! You can't win! I came here to be conciliatory, accept that at least. Had I been through what you have recently, I wouldn’t be inclined toward friendliness either.” He paused, adding in a tone tinged with a threat that struck her as more natural, “My allowances for you are limited. Remember that you cannot win. It’s pointless for us to waste energy battling each other.”

Linsora opened her mouth, planning to remark that she had plenty of energy to spare. Before she spoke, a sharp whip of, she wasn’t sure what brushed past her mind. It had the taste of Gordek and something that was not pain but held the promise of pain. I can’t fight you, she thought. Not yet. But your pompous confidence won’t last forever. That much I can promise both of us.

She ground her teeth and kept her anger to herself.
