How are you not famous yet? These stories and the universe you’re creating is just as compelling as the most well known science fiction. It’s right up there with Uplift and the Space Odyssey.
Thanks, Rickstopher! Glad you're finding the stories compelling! To the extent that I care about fame, it's really only about getting the stories to more people for their enjoyment, so I do hope to expand my reach, but fame's not the motivating force. I feel like if it's something like that is meant to happen, it will. Glad you're enjoying, and maybe you're among the early few!
Thanks for the support, ghost! Let the record show that I am willing to serve as an expert witness for anyone criminally charged under that statute 😃 We're just getting rolling!
Thanks, David! I drew upon my vast experience leading multi-trillion-dollar deep space enterprises 😂😂 Seriously, though, boardroom drama dominates real life but I don't recall seeing it much in fiction 🤔
Hit some great points. Wonderful world you have created. I am doing this series a bit out of wack. I continue to be impressed with you as an author and thinker.
Thanks, Eric! Very cool 😃I think one of my favorite setting inspirations was colonizing Mercury. The idea of mushroom huts on stilts because the planet's surface is thousands of degrees was fun to think about.
What’s not to like? This is a great story of the possibilities of science; the human mind, both as a seer and in its ability to get us into trouble if we don’t have the guidance of good people and the humbleness to recognize when we are out of our depth. I do hope you will write many stories of different outcomes, but I do like this positive perspective. If I want negativity I’ll read the news.
Thanks, John! I love to explore both the positive and negative situations we get ourselves into. I almost forgot, but I do have an "Uplifting Stories" playlist. It's tough to always curate perfectly as some situations are bittersweet too, but I think it has most of the stories that lean toward the mostly sweet. Much more than a news feed for sure 😂 th-cam.com/play/PLWl-Jc_I2wPD543dZTOh0UbuV8VnsSi2N.html&feature=shared
@@RoweLit I just finished it. I especially like Mouse which I’d heard before, but I listened again with perhaps even more enjoyment as some second “readings” bring. I imagine that so long as you are writing from your joy of writing for whatever reason it gives you joy or satisfaction you will continue to write excellent stories. Passion and desire to do things well makes for the greatest achievements. Best wishes always.
Clever bit of writing my man. Not singulary so as you've penned, heh heh, penned, many a great tale. Being obsequious ain't my game but I'll be the first to give credit where and when due. The Misfits and the cosmos they inhabit are a fine team of intrepid adventurers. Glad to have found you here and at this point it's re-run in the three-ringed circus time. ❤🎉
VIZZINI: Let me put it this way: have you ever heard of Plato? Aristotle? Socrates? MAN IN BLACK: Yes VIZZINI: Morons. Rowe: Have you ever heard of Asimov? Philip K. Dick? Arthur Charles Clarke? MAN IN BLACK: Yes Rowe: Morons. Just Kidding But I do predict they will be making movies with P.E. Rowe works
Yes, Martin. Julian is the protagonist in several of "The Lifeboat" stories. The latest one was "Inertia." I think there are a total of 5 (so far ... ) 😃
Wow, there are tears in my eye!

@@RoweLit Your humility is probably one of the things that make you a great writer. You definitely have a new fan in me.
@@MrRickstopher Much appreciated on both counts 🙏
I think Rickstopher’s comment says it all.
Dang onions....
Thank you, P. E. Rowe.
Cheers, Karl! An early favorite. More to come on Hartsock in the new year!
You're really good at seeing the big picture. Great writing!
Thanks for such a gratifying compliment, nokittys. Makes the long hours at the keyboard worth it!
I absolutely LOVED this story!!! I even got pretty emotional at the end. Well done!!
Glad to hear it, Jack. Thanks!
Criminally under subbed. Amazing work.
Thanks for the support, ghost! Let the record show that I am willing to serve as an expert witness for anyone criminally charged under that statute 😃
We're just getting rolling!
Another great story.
Thank you over and over.
Thanks, Alfred!
I love science, chess and this story also!!! Ty
Pretty sure that makes you an ideal reader, ty! 😃
Brilliant. I found the dramatization of boardroom politics especially educational. 😊 🙏
Thanks, David! I drew upon my vast experience leading multi-trillion-dollar deep space enterprises 😂😂 Seriously, though, boardroom drama dominates real life but I don't recall seeing it much in fiction 🤔
Tears of joy ❤
Cheers, Stephen 😃🙏
Wow. Got me crying!❤
Thanks, Lizz 🙏 I'm thinking about another Julian story soon. I really have to get back to him.
Well, fuckin hell.
Onion Ninjas outta fuckin nowhere!
I mean seriously.
This was both sad and beautiful.
Thank you for this.
Thanks, Greg 🙏 Sorry, but they wouldn't be very good ninjas if they called in advance 😃🥷
Hit some great points. Wonderful world you have created. I am doing this series a bit out of wack. I continue to be impressed with you as an author and thinker.
Thanks, Johnny! It's only fitting, as I write/wrote it out of whack 😃 Happy you're finding some good ones!
Another great original story.
SFIA is also a big influence to me too. The shows on red dwarfs and tidally locked worlds influenced the setting for my first novel.
Thanks, Eric! Very cool 😃I think one of my favorite setting inspirations was colonizing Mercury. The idea of mushroom huts on stilts because the planet's surface is thousands of degrees was fun to think about.
I am still really enjoying your work. Well done!
Thanks, Phillip! Glad to hear it 😃🙏
I love the way you tell stories. Please keep them coming!
Thanks, Patrick! That's the plan.
Another good one!!!
Thanks, David!
Beautiful
Thanks, Jacob!
I love this story brilliant 🌏✨🤘
Thank you, Dean!

Cheers, CPD! I'll do my best to keep them coming so there's a new one pretty often! Glad you're enjoying the expanding storyworld!
Awesome.
Thanks, kennyjoe!
Loved it
Cheers, Tim 😃🙏
Wonderfully done.
Such a good lead in! These stories link together so well!
Thanks, Keith. One of my favorite early ones for sure!
Bravo!
Thanks, Ouroboros!
So wonderful, thank you
Thanks, Goddess 😃🙏
Very well done. Thank you for your work.
Cheers! Happy to share and glad you're enjoying 🙏
Such good storytelling
Thanks, Anthony!
I'm on the hunt for a map and glossary 😊
"you couldn't make this up" 👀
😃🙏
Your mind is incredible💯💝💖❣️🙏
Thanks, Victoria 😃🙏
I've yet to listen to one of P. E. Rowe's stories that I didn't like. His writing abilities are a force of nature.
Thanks, Craig! Glad you're enjoying 🙏 There's a little nurture in there as well 😂 but I wouldn't have nurtured if it wasn't in my nature first 😃
4/5 worth a listen🎉
Cheers, Aaa! Glad you enjoyed 🙏😃
Thank You, I'm being spoiled.
Cheers, Charles!

Mark CEN CA im here now 😮
😮indeed!

Is the first person, the same character as Singularity?
Yes, Martin. Julian is the protagonist in several of "The Lifeboat" stories. The latest one was "Inertia." I think there are a total of 5 (so far ... ) 😃
@@RoweLit "(so far ...)", I really, really like the sound of that.
Rowe-san erai na
I think this story is going to stick with me for a while. I learned a lot from listening to this.
Thanks, MJ! I think I might feel another Julian story coming along 🤔
great story

Thanks, Felicity. As soon as I get a minute, I promise you I'll look into it. I do have a story to write for next week, you know 😄
