Man, I can’t say how much you mean to the people out here. I wait for your stories. I listen to them. You make a difference in this world. I appreciate you

It's always a good day when PERowe uploads a new story.

After reading sci-fy for 50 years; i really appreciate your writing and narration.

Yea! I was just about to go out and deal with people, but now I can sit here for a time and not feel bad about it!

I’ve thanked a lot of people over the years for many different innocuous and mundane things. But the thanks I give for these stories, this fledgling universe, is very sincere. Thanks again.

I listen to all of your stories over and over.i laugh so hard I cry. I weep from my Soul. Completely emotionally and spiritually connected to your characters even if they have appeared only once. The Misfits. A Family. My family. Our Family. I am so excited for the future stories. Thankyou Father Rowe.

Christmas came early. Thank you.

See now this is the surprise I’ve been checking YT every few hours for! Woooohooooo!!!

An excellent tale...a guy I went to high school with did maintenance/security for some local upper class rich types, and has a lot of interesting stories...this Misfits tale reminds me of that. Glad to hear the Misfits will continue. Maps of the various systems and locations in the Misfits universe would be interesting.

Fantastic. I have to say one of the nicest things I've seen happen this year is seeing your channel here start to take off. I like to imagine that we humans possess a good sorting mechanism over time -- it's a core tenant of optimism, and optimism is our single best super power. Yet here was your incredible writing (and deep knowledge about writing!) free for the listening, and painfully under subscribed. I was bewildered. There is nothing wrong with being a small force in the big world, heck most of us here are. But it's important to feel that we'll all soar in our moment, and this is clearly your moment. I will be gifting these books to friends and family, and I would highly encourage anyone reading this to do the same. And spread the word. With a few thousand little pushes, 2024 will be the year that the characters and storytelling of P.E. Rowe breaks into the consciousness of the wider world -- and soars. People have had a rough few years, we owe them this. Thanks as always, and ALL the best to you in these holidays and beyond.

Have a wonderful Christmas and shining bright New Year. Thank you for making 2023 a little more magical.

Lol. That special someone who always has your back for the win ! Miss mine every day.

What a magnificent addition to the corpus! Thank you! The callback to "The Ones who Walk Away from Omelas" was unexpected but totally fitting. I also didn't see it, despite LeGuin being one of my favourite authors.

Loved the story ,the writing ,and your "Triss" was amazing. you are a great narrator too! I think you have been around more than a few drunken socialite women to pull that off so well ! Good luck with Audible - i might give 1 book if not for Xmas then maybe a b-day. Happy holidays and I hope you appreciate your own list of accomplishments! It has been a great time listening .

You saved the best for last leaving us all wanting more. Love, love, love the continuous mystery sandwich. The characters get better each time, their like old souls, rich in experiences, and moral dilemas. And the paralells to real life, politics, and how hard it is to survive and maintain any ethics. All set across the universe. As usual, cant wait for the next installments, but take all the time you need as they are worth waiting for. 😊

WOW, great story lines and great voice acting all from one Artist ! Yes, I've shared P. E. ROWE with several SciFi fans !

Glad to hear the Misfits are continuing. I love those stories. Best stories I've heard on the U tube in ages..

Remember almost a year ago when I started to listen to the Misfits after having listened to most of your repertoire? I posted an 'out-of-place' question as I was trying to figure out Transom. I was imagining a,Woody Harrelson/ Matthew McConaughey-like military type as I couldn't quite place the character. So, after going through all of your stories, I listened to some Misfit arc stories but not chronologically(making playlists was a very pleasing an necessary idea). I told you once I love your cosmically, aeon spanning stories the most, like "Dancing with the Universe". Transom felt different and archetypal in a Hollywood-esque way, unlike any other character you write. I remember that I was baptizing your Oeuvre as Kappaverse(it was my first Letter in the Battery) and you came up with 'Transomverse'. That's when I understood how much you were into this character, I thought deviated from your emerging and state of the Art storytelling. These last months I began listening to the Misfits from the beginning as intended on your playlist: EVERYTHING that made me love your stories -all the best ellements are there- AI-turned gods and the female Misfit godesses like Ship(Ricci?) and Verona. I know them all by name phonetically but I listen to your stories so I don't want to make a mistake. I truly love the Misfits and surprisingly, I think you use Transom as a straight-forward vehicle to drive intricate and complex stories into Eternity. I'm really enjoying each Misfit, having two or three favourites. But it was imperative to listen to the Misfit arc as you linked them in your playlist. To my surprise you go cosmic and span aeons in ways I wasn't expecting, surpassing even some of your best work. The Misfits really take my mind farther into the depths of the dark energy that expands the Universe in ways our minds arent meant to comprehend. What's after Eternity and beyond the unstretched Expanse? That's where you're taking me every week and I thank you for sharing your intellect in the form of these amazing stories.

Thanks for continuing the great writing and narration!

This was a beautiful Christmas story. And the elegant insert of one of the darkest/deepest sci-fi stories into yours makes me appreciate your work even more. But the thing that I wanted to say is thank you. It was a hour and a half well spent. I wish you heartwarming holidays. Thanks again.

Awesome story as always.

Proper jammy for us mates. Shook to see our kid Rowe givin new drip as I caught up.

Madness in my method…..it takes me three four or even five audio listens to soak up each ep! I listen at night tucked up in bed……..rarely get past the twenty minute mark….each night a bit more until I find an hour during the day to get the full ep. By this time I know the set up of the story thoroughly and can enjoy the concluding chapters…….not sure why I felt I had to share that, a break from the awful events in the holy lands I suppose. All that bile focused on other people when we can look around and see paradise, this earth being the ultimate space ship with everything we will ever need…..crazy.merry Xmas one and all 🙏

Well done bro! Thanks again for the Xmas present and your family must be proud of you! I'd be if you were my son and I'm proud of him and my 2 daughters too! Keep the good stuff coming!

After some time for reflection, it hit me how powerful it was for you to reference Omelas in this story which is the culmination for this powerful year of stories. To call back to one of the most profound sci-fi short stories ever in such a meaningful way was spectacular. My guess is that Me. Rudin is an AI or backed by an AI.

My friend, I have been a sci-fi enthusiast my entire life, and I thoroughly appreciate your time, your passion, as well as your incredible stories. I created a relationship with each individual, as well as a deep connection with each and everyone of them, and yes, even the bots. I can’t express enough how much I looked forward to each new story, and each moment and can’t wait to see what the future holds. I will be purchasing for support, and again sir, thank you so much!

Absolutely awesome! Thank you

I’ve been waiting for this. 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you Mr. Rowe!

What a way to leave the punters wanting more 😊 Thanks so much and go have a nice cup of tea/whiskey.

Assume they’re listening to everything. “Hi Mr. Dreason.” ……. It’s the little things that make it all come together.

It just keeps getting better and better! Looking forward to season 2 !:-)

Dear Mr. Rowe, You rock....🙏

YAY! A new season of Misfits in the offing for the NEW YEAR! Thank you, P. E. Rowe.

Thank you for bringing these awesome stories to us and Reading them yourself. I appreciate all that you do and I really appreciate your willingness to help other Writers such as myself.

Listened twice! Loved it! Thank You ❤ Have a wonderful and creative 2024!

You do a great job of creating personalities and developing believable action scenes. Love your work.

Awesome.

Amazing 10/10 series Can't wait for the next saga of The Misfits.

This was another wonderful episode of this epic series. I am going to follow it from where I am now, and then go back to earlier episodes. I just love the descriptions, and one feels like you know the characters. Thank you so much 🤗🌟❤️

Omg im going to be adding the misfits' books!!! Yippeeee

Saved this for my Christmas gift. Thank you 🎅

Excellent installment sir - as usual.

Thanks P. E. Rowe. As with all your stories, I eagerly await the next season of The Misfits and your general output for the new year. A Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and have a coffee ☕ + on me. Cheers and Tally-ho!

Another great story. Merry Christ Mass

Another fine story.

Excellent 👍

TRISS BALL what a piece of work cant stand a drunk

Interesting! I think Carolina is showing some of the deeper colours of her class-driven upbringing… I wonder if that may cause a lot of friction especially with Transom. Poor chap isn’t going to live this episode down anytime soon…(!) The deeper the story gets towards the core of the force driving the war I wonder on what kind of hold the core has over everyone in power… looking forward to seeing how all this advances, awesome as ever Mr. Rowe and Happy New Year!

Good story! Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas!
