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.

I'm. one of those people who love working in the soil. I have a garden each year and while the crops are not always the biggest, or the prettiest, or the tastiest, I receive much pleasure out of the planting, the caring, and working the soil. Just the feeling of the soil in my hands and running through my fingers makes me happy. It grounds me and connects me with nature and something larger than myself. Linsora is the same but from the perspective of an archaeologist. Feeling the soil helps her read the history of the planet. I hope you'll consider reading, Khizara, now available on Amazon!
Book Excerpt
Khizara
Linsora knelt down in the dirt. She had always enjoyed running her fingers through soil of every type. Each planet had different textures of earth. It amazed her that every world consisted of broken-down volcanic dirt, but each one was broken down differently, and the resulting soil was always a wonder to see and feel. This soil was mucky when wet and fine sand once it dried. She carefully scooped some dirt into the screen and shook it gently. Shiny shards rattled across the screen’s surface when the sandy soil fell through. “What do you make of these?” Linsora asked Permac as she picked the small pieces of glass from the straining screen.
