Facing the future meant facing the end … until it became a new beginning. Aerie and Exton are still at war with the Revolutionary States, but there is much to celebrate. Now that they are together again, Aerie finally has what she’s always wanted: A loving home. But her past, and her parents, are far from letting her move on with her new life. When Merra further escalates the war with her … Merra further escalates the war with her treachery, Aerie is faced with an impossible choice: Save her mother, or betray Exton.
Years after his father’s murder, Exton finally has the killer at his mercy. But General St. Cloud has a surprise for him—the truth about Silas’s death. While Exton struggles with the ghosts of his past, his allies face dire threats at Panama, where a battle has ensued over a shipment of weapons. The stakes are raised even higher as the dictator of the fair world himself, Grant Osgood, launches the GPI, his Global Planethood Initiative, in hopes of finishing off the Perdition and demolishing the defectors’ hopes for liberty.
With the fate of the planet on the line, Aerie and Exton know each of their decisions could mean the difference between victory and defeat. Can they pay the price that war—and true love—demands?
FROM THE AUTHOR:
Enjoy the pleasure of finishing the Divine Space Pirates trilogy, a science fiction romance series for teen and young adults, as Aerie and Exton’s love faces off against the pressure of a world at war.
FROM THE BOOK:
“Loving you is something that might bring me trouble,” Exton said, interrupting Aerie as she silently listed her family’s sins. “But it is also one of the only reasons I work to find solutions.”
“So the world is better off because you love me?” Aerie asked.
“My world certainly is.” His icy blue eyes softened as they looked into hers. In their half-lit room, as they faced each other, Aerie felt as though they were surrounded by a cloud of invisible fire and softness, almost as if their love was made manifest between them. The extra-sensory sensation spirited around them, and she felt it bond them together all over again.
Aerie’s heart swelled. The uncertainty she’d felt earlier faded as a rush of hope and determination rekindled inside of her.

The end is near and when the final sentence was read, I was content with the ending of The Divine Space Pirates in The Price of Paradise by C S Johnson.
The clash of family and characters with strong personalities flare and the final battle of the war will be set in motion. I can guess at a lot of what is to come, but the most important thing has me stumped…how will they save Earth from themselves?
Hope. Man’s eternal optimism. Life will go on. And then I thought of a line from Jurassic Park, “Life will find a way,” says Jeff Goldblum. In reality, as in fiction, it reeks of truth.
Can your biggest enemy become your friend? Can hatred be overcome?
The national narrative had focused so much on surviving that it forgot about living. This is one of those stories that give rise to what ifs. So many realistic scenarios spun from our past history that carry a ring of truth, with plenty of fiction so things work out like I want them too.
All the characters grow and develop through each book and many become warm loving people who will stand strong with guns and fists to fight for their freedom. I loved the world created. It is books like The Divine Space Pirates that makes me wonder what the future holds for us. Ecologically, suffering the politicians, big business corruption, greed…I could go on, but you know what I’m talking about.
I am very satisfied with the ending.and love that C S Johnson included an epilogue. Puts the cherry on top.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Price of Paradise by C S Johnson

Each book in The Divine Space Pirates trilogy gets more exciting and the final book, The Price of Paradise, is my favorite. All the characters have important parts to play. There is more scheming and danger, some deaths, truths are uncovered, trusting people is tricky, and more! Sometimes I wondered how C.S. Johnson would bring it all together and wrap things up, but she does a fabulous job, making the final scenes satisfying for the reader.
This is a Christian romantic science-fiction series. I own all three eBooks (verified purchases on Amazon Kindle). I also received copies of the audiobooks from the author and I have been slowly reviewing those. I enjoyed listening to this series, and it made boring tasks like folding laundry so much better. Scott and Andrea Senff make a great narrating team! I did notice a few glitches, but they were small hiccups. This is my honest and voluntary review.
It has taken me a while to finish up this series. I think this is a great wrap-up to the series I enjoyed. There are many secrets that Aerie learns about her parent’s actions. Exton learns secrets about his father. But do these truths drive them apart or allow them to put the past behind & develop their own relationship? I received a free copy from the author. This is my voluntary review.
In this interesting and exciting conclusion to this trilogy Exton and Aerie bring to their marriage a little more than most families bring to a marriage; especially during this time of war, greed, political corruption and a father like General St Cloud making this a very well written and intriguing book with some unexpected twists thrown in.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
The third and last book in the Divine Space Pirates trilogy series a well written story with a very good ending to this series. Aerie and Exton are still at war with the Revolutionary States. There is suspense, lies, drama, danger, secrets told, and romance.I am sad to see this series end, but liked the way it did.
