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.

Being trapped inside your own head must be devastating. Being trapped but being controlled by another, even worse. Seeing release from that so close at hand and not quite being able to reach it, supreme frustration. Please enjoy this short excerpt from "Khizara" being released on September 5th.
Book Excerpt
Khizara
The waves of energy in her mind shivered. It was as though a hand punched through the fog—like, suddenly, she’d met the eye of the storm. Whatever it was—this pause, this peace—beckoned to her and offered a hand to pull her toward the calm, where no storm, no heavy fog existed. She couldn’t take the hand, but something pulled her along nonetheless. The mental release of the surface was close. Linsora added what push she could. Before breaking through the fierce winds of the emotional storm, the whirlwind surrounded her. Blowing around inside her head was Yokosh and the other person, a yeasty burnt taste, and someone else, something sweet—too sweet. Bile rose in the back of her throat, along with a trapped scream.
