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.
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.

They say that with age comes wisdom. There are times when we need to look to those who came before us, in order to discover what we need to do to secure our future. We often come face to face with that wisdom, and it can be an unpleasant experience when we are learning, growing and in the wrong. Please enjoy this short excerpt from my book, "Khizara" available October 1, 2020. I know that you're going to love it!
Book Excerpt
Khizara
The older man burst into a short, static laugh. “You give yourself far too much credit. No one is altruistic. Not even you. Your eyes are not meeting mine. Are you afraid I’ll see the ambition behind them?” He walked the short distance to the young visitor. When they stood inches apart, he reached up to trace the outline of a scar on the younger man’s face. It ran the length of his face from just beneath his left eye arcing toward his mouth and ending at his jaw “When you’re as old as I am, that scar and others will disappear behind the folds of age, but the memory of it will never leave you. The memory of the perils you’ve faced will never leave those who care for you. I care for you. Understand, and always know that. If you fail, the failure is only for now. Circumstances will present themselves again even without you. Think about what is necessary and what is simply expedient.”
