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.

Sudden Inspiration

There are times, especially just as we're falling asleep, when our minds begin to work on problems and solutions. As we relax, our brains are free to discover things that have eluded us throughout the day. In this short excerpt from "Khizara," Permac has been trying to figure out why this planet seems so familiar. All day, the answer has not been there. But as he begins to fall asleep, it hits him and a light in his mind goes on. I hope you enjoy this excerpt and look forward to reading "Khizara" when it's released September 1, 2023.

Book Excerpt

Khizara

Despite his fatigue, Permac couldn’t sleep. He walked around the room, tried the door several times, and finally stretched out on the cool floor. Permac flattened his spine into it to ease his tension. He ran his hand over the surface of the floor. It’s not a floor, he thought. It’s dirt. Just hard-packed dirt. It smells like home.

He crawled into bed next to Linsora and drifted into a light sleep. Images of Tokorel floated through his dreams, the smell of the damp ground after a light rain. The scent of chikara. The land and the chikara. He woke with a start. The earth, Permac thought. Of course!
