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.

There are times, especially in tense situations, where we react instead of acting. Sometimes, a reaction might not be the best thing to do when done without thinking. Such a move could put you and anyone around you, in jeopardy. Trying to escape an energy beam trying to kill you can be one of those times. Even if your timing to get away is perfect, the physical state of the building you're in could not agree. Please take a look at the short excerpt from "Khizara" launching in September 2023 and see what you think.
Book Excerpt
Khizara
“Damn you,” she growled softly. “Whatever I feel you don’t happen to approve of might be the only thing to save us from your stupidity. It should be soon. Get ready.” When the pulsing stopped, they stood and ran toward the tiny shaft of light shining through the far door. The ancient floor groaned beneath their pounding feet in the blackness. Several feet before the door, Permac heard Linsora yell. He felt a rush of dry air, then nothing beneath his feet, causing him to tumble through the hole in the floor.
