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.

In the book, ‘Khizara,’ Linsora is an archaeologist with a truly unique ability. She can “hear” the voices of the past occupants of a dig, a gift that sets her apart in this world of wonder, science, and adventure. These voices tug at her consciousness and stir her soul, compelling her to uncover more about the people who once lived there. Please enjoy this short excerpt and consider reading ‘Khizara’ in the near future.
Book Excerpt
Khizara
When they found the settlement, Linsora stood quietly, just listening. She could hear whispers tug at her consciousness and feel the ancient calls of the prior occupants’ everyday lives. She turned to look to the right, where a small clearing contained some piles of dirt. She looked at Permac and said, “I know you didn’t expect to have to help me but grab a small shovel and one of the screens for me. This dirt is fine, and I want to sift out any shards I can find without breaking them.”
