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.

Carratia is an interesting planet. This short excerpt gives a synopsis of what you might find there. Much like a travel brochure, you'll have an appreciation for the finer points of the world by reading this. Would you book your next vacation here? I hope you enjoy the read and watch for the audio book of "Khizara," coming to audible soon!
Book Excerpt
Khizara
Like most port cities, Carratia was bright, loud, and expensive if you didn’t know your way around. More than most, though, Carratia was noted for its commercial and moral ease. The Mercantile Board that regulated all interplanetary commerce regarded Carratia as no more than marginally reputable. They followed the rules closely enough to retain their membership since not having Mercantile credentials made inter-system trade nearly impossible on a large scale. They also skittered past the rules whenever they thought they could get away with it. Carratian markets offered items not seen in strictly regulated ports, such as artifacts that more appropriately belonged in a museum, weapons that belonged only on military installations, and substances that appealed to various races’ idea of intoxicants. All were available.
