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.

Have you ever stayed at someone's home and wanted to look around, just a little bit, while they were gone? Just because you were curious.and meaning no harm. Did you feel funny about it? Did you stop, thinking that it might be considered snooping? Did you stop thinking that perhaps you'd be caught? You should look through this short excerpt. It's okay. I give you permission. And when you're done, watch for the launch of "Khizara" on September 5th, 2023.
Book Excerpt
Khizara
The suns rose long before Linsora and Permac stirred—but as soon as they did, they found food on the table, all the doors open, and an empty house. After investigating, they realized Karak and Tayla were gone with their ground transport. Linsora suggested they rummage around the house, but Permac said there was no line between searching and snooping. Besides the general principle of respecting their hosts’ privacy, he didn’t want to be caught in the act when Karak returned.
