Chronicle Toward Books The Heights of Perdition (The Divine Space Pirates #1)
Falling in love was out of the question ... until it was the answer.There is nothing Aeris St. Cloud wants more than to win her father's love and the acceptance of her family unit by joining the Military Academy at New Hope. But after she is captured by the fearsome space pirate, Captain Chainsword, Aerie is certain falling in love with her nation's arch enemy is the last possible way to earn their coveted esteem. Driven by vengeance, Exton Shepherd never set out to save anyone. As he circles the war-torn world in his pirated starship, the Perdition, he only sees his father's ghost lurking around every corner and the looming darkness on the horizon. When Aerie unexpectedly tumbles into his life, he finds he cannot trust her, anymore than he can ignore her. But just like the raging war down on Earth, it's tempting to think he can ... When the war ascends to the heights of the Perdition, Aerie's loyalty, and Exton's heart, are put to the test. But will love be enough to save them -- and others -- from certain destruction? FROM THE AUTHOR:
The Heights of Perdition is the first book in the Divine Space Pirates trilogy, a futuristic romance series where family, faith, and freedom all take center stage. With religious and political themes, this is one book sure to entertain your mind as much as it stimulates your heart. Look for Book 2, The Breadth of Creation, as the story - and the war - continues on!
FROM THE BOOK:
“Tell me your name. It’s a good place to start, don’t you think?”
“I’ll never give you any information. How could I, knowing what I know about you?”
“Perhaps there’s more to me than you realize.”
“You’re a hateful monster! What else do I possibly need to know?”
Aerie regretted her outburst less than a second later. The captain immediately left his chair and came close to her. Instinctively, she pulled back, but the pad behind her did not allow her to go far.
As he drew near, she got a good look at his face; though no longer adorned with the pirate’s wig and beard, she could see he was still masked. The apathy, the cynicism, the playful whimsy—all of it hid a deep crevice of pain inside of him.
The sudden urge to reach out and touch him shot through her. It was quickly followed by alarm and self-disgust.
“From your comments, I would assume you have yet to learn a great many things,” he told her, his voice sharp.
“What do you mean by that?” she asked, boldly meeting his gaze.
“First, your name is no small matter," he said. "Destinies can be made and shaped by your name, though whether good or bad, it is up to you."
He turned away from her abruptly and began pacing by her bed. Aerie listened to his steps resonate with certainty and distinctness, like a military cadence, as she tried to breathe properly.
“Second,” he continued, glancing at her from over his shoulder, “Despite what you might think, I am not a monster; merely a man.”
“I hardly see the difference,” she retorted, still rattled by his presence.
“I would expect that, given your education with the URS. Over the past decade, your beloved Daddy Dictator has managed to ensure your education, rigorous as it is, consists of really only following instructions, repeating the lies they prefer to the truth, and ignoring any logic that would unravel them or undermine their authority.”

Good love story set in Earth's future. Good characters, good story line, fun to read and find out what happens next. Good job, Ms. Johnson.Sci-fi dystopian with a touch of religion. I received this title from the author's publicist and read it over two days. That's a good thing. Being a black kid from the ghetto I could certainly relate to disappointing a father by not being admitted into a great school, which is what Aeris experiences here. Accepting that and taking on a job life could actually turn out (at minimum) OK until Aeris is kidnapped by space pirates. This was a cool read that I could definitely get into reading more of
I enjoyed reading this book, the first in the trilogy. Fast moving from the very beginning, I look forward to reading the other books and to see how the storyline continues to develops.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Actual rating is 4.5, but it deserves the bump up!Thought and PlotKidnapped by space pirates??? World destroyed by nuclear war??? Do tell me more!Aerie St. Cloud only wants to win her fathers love (her father is a high ranking general). But its hard when you dont get to go a top school. Aerie wants to join the Military Academy at New Hope in hopes that this will help her win the acceptance of her family unit. But her
I liked the characters, they were well rounded and wholesome. The world building was satisfactory and showed the differences in living in space and planet side. I am really not into the Romance side of sci-fi and Divine Space Pirates is really not my cup of tea.
The Heights of Perdition is the first book in The Divine Space Pirates Trilogy. The Christian message comes through strong in this romantic science-fiction adventure series. The story moves quickly, the characters are likable, and the dialogue is well thought out. There's plenty of clean chemistry to keep the romantics happy. Without giving any of the story away, I did feel that Emery and Exton were both out of character toward the end. It has a cliff-hanger ending, so be prepared.Posted on
I read this novel on my Kindle before I had a Goodreads account and was just reminded it of it, coming across a new book by C.S. In this dystopian tale (set in the future), Aerie St. Cloud desperately wants love and affection from her family especially her dad, and as she fights for it, she is kidnapped and taken aboard a purloined ship, Perdition. While on board she falls for the captain, obviously using him to replace her dad.This was a cool book to read. I'd read more of C.S.
