Thank you to everyone who helped make 2023 a special year for RoweLit! (If you're reading this, that means you!)
🌟(Update) The audiobook is now available through the link in the video description if you're interested in owning it; otherwise, enjoy it free here!
🌟 Subtitles are still processing due to the length of the video and number of words: 174,000 😲 They should be along shortly 🕜😃 (Update) nearly 10 days later, I'm doubtful they will actually ever populate for this video. If you find you definitely need/want subtitles for any specific chapter, the individual stories are all available through the Misfits playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PLWl-Jc_I2wPAsngY7MCID9sS_98Y2siT5.html&feature=shared
Much more to come in 2024 🎉🎇🚀

Merry Christmas! My book is coming soon!
Thanks, LaVera! To you too!
It's wonderful that you narrated. 😊
Thanks, Michael! It's a lot of work, but I don't have an army of voice actors on retainer 😃So I think it works out in the end!
This is one of the best stories I have read since The Foundation Trilogy. Thank you for a fascinating story.
Thank you, Andrew! Wow! That's some high praise 🙏You finished up the first book just in time. Season 2 starts Thursday morning! Hope to see you there 😃
@@RoweLit I'll be there. Sorry I am late to the party. Lots of great stories waiting for me.
Cheers, Andrew! Welcome
Thanks Rowe! and congratulations on the completion of this book, I hope millions will enjoy this work as much as I have.
Thanks, Not fooled. I am always hopeful when I publish that it reaches the right audience and grateful when it does, no matter the size. Millions would be nice though 😃
I'm a voracious reader and this gets my seal of approval 👍. Looking forward to read other books you've written.
You're definitely due a book deal. I would definitely pay to hear this on Audible
Cannot stop listening, has become one of my all time favorites, just one problem, I'm not ready to say goodbye to this story nor its characters, please continue.
Thanks, Daniel! Glad to hear it 😃 Luckily for you, I too am not ready to say goodbye to this gang, and I do have a say in the matter 😂 Much more to come this year.
Dear Mr Genius Rowe, what a wonderful and superb story. It twists and turns and takes you places you didn't know you were going to visit. Your imagination is marvellous, and your story stretches my imagination with it. I've read lots of sci-fi stories, and this is one of the best. I love how it is exciting, compelling, and most importantly, feel-good. I look forward to your other terrific contributions to this world. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks, Cat! So glad you enjoyed it 😃🙏 We're cruising along in season 2! Already up to episode 3 this Thursday 🚀 It's is soooo fun to share ❤
7:06:17 - “It’s a vocation more than a job”… being a faithful Catholic Christian, reading a lot during my conversion of the Great Catholic Thinkers, their writings, arguments, insights.. this one sentence has such depth that far to many today wouldn’t realize/ understand.
Already a major fan of this writer, but this sentence given in reply/ correction to Birch by a Watcher (who is the one group of people such understanding makes sense coming from - especially in a universe of constant war) just elevated this Author up numerous levels! Wasn’t expecting to find any modern author, especially a Fiction author, to have such nuanced & profound understanding. 👏🏼
Cheers, Saintly! 🙏 All the most important and difficult questions are the most important ones to ask in fiction! Glad you're enjoying the process 🌟
Such a beautifully immersive intricate story and elaborate range of characters, really so engaging! loving it. theres so much more could be told about each of them. I am left shocked and bewildered what happened right at the end of Old Folks.. so many questions! the last book Athos neatly avoids answers, leaving this season as a cliffhanger..
Thanks, Greg! So glad you enjoyed the first season 🚀😃 Season 2 is ongoing with episode four coming up next week!
It's a special treat when the author of a book is the narrator. 😊
Your narration is as outstanding as your book!🙌🙌🙌
Thanks, Mr. K! I really appreciate that. The narration is a lot of work, but it's well worth it to share my fiction with everyone here! 😃🙏🚀
This was an excellent novel, as the narration was by the author I was impressed with that as well. I will be happy to purchase the next installment, and I thank the author for making this first enjoyable book available for free on UA-cam.
Happy to share, Jon! Glad you enjoyed 🙏😃 Part II is ongoing in serial form throughout the year. Episode 2 of Season 2 is slated for this Thursday!
I’m a complete fan of sci-fi, fantasy, military history and (some) detective and thriller stuff.
My library contains over 4000 such titles, and I’ve read many more over the decades (Those are just my favourites I don’t mind re-reading)
And highly, highly critical of those genres therefore.
My hat goes off to you sir 🙇♂️
You are certainly amongst the best in your sub genre.
With a unique style.
And pretty good narration too!
Sincere congrats.
Thanks, Nicolaus, for that genuinely high praise 🙏😃 It's a joy to share my work with great sci-fi fans like you!
Sir, I was quite pleasantly surprised at the quality of your book and your reading it out loud.
I was also impressed by your reference to Omelas to underscore the theme of the book.
I've recommended this video to my daughter who enjoys audiobooks.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Seth! So glad you enjoyed it 😃I appreciate your sharing it. Much more to come from this crew in the upcoming year!
I recommended it to my son. He says its really good!
Thanks, Lyndaster! Glad to hear it 🙏😃
My goodness. What a wild ride. Absolutely amazing. Well done Rowe.
Oh, wow what a surprise! Truly this story is one of my all-time favorite stories. Thanks for sharing a version all together. I look forward to relistening to this next week
Thanks, Nicki! Glad you enjoy it so much 🙏😃
This is so exciting. I've been here about a year and almost instantly I saw your future with multi million dollar feature films of the saga. I truly believe that the whole world need to experience your wonderful talent.thanks to you i am so excited for the year ahead... No pressure.
Thanks, Hartley! I appreciate it 🙏 I don't feel like there's pressure, just a lot of excitement for the road ahead.
Got my physical copy the other day and now this! I'll be settling in after the festivities have ended tonight to experience another voyage with the Misfits...Thank you! Wishing a very Merry Christmas to you and yours🎄and a blessed New Year to come🙏
Cheers and 🎄✨Cheers, vg!
The compilation which marks a huge milestone out of many more to come! Congrats!
🙏Thank you. It feels like a meaningful one--agreed, one of many, I hope!
Thank you. I love your stuff. Please do not let your stuff get woke and don't sell out for a quick buck. You keep characters interesting and likeable, amongst all the stars and tech, keep doing that. I would like to see if you could write a story line where all their faults and flaws push them to inescapable situation and despite themselves save each other. Love the island of misfit toys theme.
Cheers, Beeble! The quick buck is off the table in the writing game for me 😃 That horse is so far out of the barn wherever he is they're probably calling him a caballo 😂 or maybe cheval if he went North. I'm definitely not going to stop being me any time soon. We'll see where this next year goes!
Thank you for giving me a masterpiece for Christmas!
Thanks, Pat. You're too kind 🙏
Sharing this as a birthday gift today. I know it will be appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed.
Thank you again for making life a bit better. ❤
Wow! Thank you, Tara, on both counts. One could hardly be accused of doing better than making life a little better for others 🙏🏼 I'll continue to aspire to such.
I totally enjoyed this book and your narration is perfect. Hope you write and narrate many more. Thank you so much
Thank you, Janette! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😃Many more is the plan and the goal! Cheers🙏
I'm only into the second story, and I'm already hooked. Thank you!
Thanks, Brian! Glad you're enjoying 😃
Congrats! Love these stories and I’m so happy to have them in their full form.
Cheers, Cole! Glad you've enjoyed and happy to share 😃
Wow. Merry Christmas. Thanks for posting this and for all your talent and hard work.
Thanks, Johnny! Happy to share 😃
@@RoweLit man I really hope you get all the distribution you want. And best to all you care about.
So looking forward to hearing this and sharing with loved ones.
Blessings to you and yours 😊
Thanks, Zensters! To you as well 🙏
If the "Misfits" is any indication of the balance of the book, I can truly say "Well done" !
Cheers, Paul! I'd like to think "The Misfits" is a window to the wider galaxy, but yes, hopefully a pretty good indication 😃Thanks for listening!
Just finished the book Rowe. Gonna order it tonight. This was one of the best Sci fi books I’ve ever read/listened to. Ever. I don’t know why but it reminds me of Red Rising a bit. But the scale. Wow. What an achievement!
I will be looking forward to everything you put out forever. You are incredible.
As is the VA. Whoever he is? He’s legendary. Wow.
Edit: you’re also the Narrator? How are you a top notch author and my favorite Audiobook VA??
Thanks, DE! Very much appreciate the kind words and grateful you're enjoying 🙏 More to follow!
Thank you for all the effort!
Thanks, lzappa! Happy to share 😃
This is the best sci-fi novel that I read in a very long time. Everything is at its right place, the plot, characters (a lot of charismatic ones here, full of life and personality), even the tech development. The only complaint is that this book is not being printed by the the major publishers so more people could be reached.
Thanks, Wesley! So glad to hear you enjoyed it so much! I'm doing my best to reach as many people as I can here, so hopefully the story gets spread far and wide 😃
Great story! Thank PE enjoyed the Misfits greatly!
Thanks, Todd! Glad to hear it 😃
Absolutely thrilled to find your Misfits universe, thanks for putting the stories in book form. I love your writing style, and your narration is perfect. And your inclusion of the Omelas reference was so apt.
I so look forward to many more!!
Thanks, emveecee! Sorry for such a late reply. Very glad to hear you're enjoying the Misfits! The next episode drops tomorrow 🚀
Merry Christmas and a prosperous and Happy New Year.
Thanks, Noah! You too!
Congrats on finishing this 🎉🎉🎉🍾🥂
Thanks, Kitka! 🙏😃🚀
I really enjoyed listening to this book. Can't wait for book 2, 3, 4...Ꝏ.
Thanks, Lady Ponfarr 😃 Not sure if I can handle infinity 😂 but I'm sure going to work hard on book 2 this year! Can't wait!
Thank you! ⚘ Thank you! ⚘ Thank you! ⚘
Cheers, Jeri! Happy to share 😃
2u2, Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
😃🎄✨
I am really enjoying this book. Great complex characters that actually develop and such an interesting story. Some tell Apple TV to bag this one quick.
Cheers, Captain! Glad to hear you're enjoying 😃
This was fantastic!!! I can wait for the next episode! Love your work!! Keep going!!!
Thanks, Shane! Glad you enjoyed it 😃🙏
... had to come back and listen again in sequenz - great idea to post this "book one" 🙏🏼
Thanks, Nemo! I hope you enjoy it 😃
ever since i came upon your channel i have most likely listened to 90% of all your audio books. def thinking of buying :D
Thanks, David! Glad to hear it 😃 Grateful for your enjoyment 🙏appreciative of all forms of support 🚀
This was AMAZING❤ Thank you so very much for sharing your work. It's excellent.
Thanks, Lisa! So glad you enjoyed 🙏😃
Fist bump of appreciation for you and the algo.
Your books should be iin every school library ASAP.
👊😃
Thanks, Karl!
Thanks! all the best in the new year
Cheers! You as well, unomi! 🎉
I totally panicked...
After the first story there was a long silence. I was thinking to myself "oh crap, it's just a short story"
I sure am glad that the adventure continues.
😊😊😊
Thanks, Michael! Lots more adventure after the first chapter 😀 Just warming up!
Best Christmas I got this year!!
Thanks, KennyJoe! Glad to hear it brightened your day a little 😃🎄
Great book! Gracias 👍
Thanks, J! Appreciate the kind words and the support 🙏🚀 Glad you enjoyed it 😃
Fascinating stories! Cheers 🍻
Cheers, Heavy Metal! Glad you're enjoying 🙏😃
Listening to all the stories again, probably in better order than the first run thru. Still awesome. ❤ Went ahead and picked it up from Amazon. Didn’t give me the Audible I clicked as an add on, probably because I don’t think I have an Audible account 😂
Cheers, Kitka! They do work better in order, I think 😃Grateful for the support 🙏 Strange, but I'm probably not the best person to ask how to do that, but I think you just need to download the app and login?
Thank you Prof. You're amazing! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Cheers, Vicki! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You are an excellent writer.
Cheers, Ed 🙏🏼😃
Great work! I hope the stories return to the first one. You've grabbed a subscriber.
Thanks, Dan! The stories do go lots of places, but back around again is one of those places. If you'd like to learn more about Kristoff, there is a story he narrates about his life called "Empty Fields" on the channel and on the "Misfits Origins" playlist. Appreciate the sub! 🙏😃
Thanks for the awesome story. Just wish people would click the like button more
Thanks, Virgil! So glad you enjoyed it 🙏😃
The Murder Mill!
Made me laugh, worry, cringe and just about every other emotion I've still got left.
Yeah I spend a lot of time these days in your creation and I must say that it's time well spent.
Great characters in a galaxy as screwed up...well just screwed up.
😂
I had a fun time re listening to Murder Mill when I did the audiobook. The Misfits is fun to write for sure!
I love the misfits. Thank you for this. 😃
🙏It makes me happy to hear!
@@RoweLit getting the book from good old trusty Amazon. Have to fill the space on the shelf where Vonnegut was. 🤠
😧You gave him the 🥾Peg? I hope you at least found him a farm in the countryside where he can run around and be happy 🐶or the book equivalent😄
@@RoweLit a young man in the charity shop where I took them had just discovered him. His eyes lit up. 😎
That's better than a country farm! Yes! 😃
Merry Christmas thanks for the book.
😎
Happy to share, Lady Ponfarr 😃 Merry Christmas to you too 🎄
Just listened to Human but not Human and had to come back to hear the Misfits again.
Thanks, h2o! Hope you enjoy the second pass!
Canny wait to listen to your video 😊
Cheers, Sarah 😃
Mesmerizingly good 😊 hope it does not end here
Thanks, Andor! Glad to hear your enjoyed 😃🙏 and, no way, it doesn't end here! We're already four episodes in for this season with more coming soon 🚀🚀🚀
Great story. Much enjoyed.👍👍👍
Thanks, Derek! So glad you enjoyed the stories 😃 Many more to come 🚀
Merry Christmas!
To you as well, Greyghost! 🎄✨
Thank you! Happy Holidays!
Thanks, Paty! To you as well!
Thank you for your very enjoyable story and excellent narration. Look forward hopefully to the continuation of this story line with these characters. Find it interesting that you portray AI as both protagonist and antagonist. Thankfully, at this point in time, not as narrator. Peace
Thanks, Tom! Glad to hear you enjoyed the first season of Misfits 😃Much more to come this year. And, yes, still a human narrating for the near future at least, unless I get uploaded 🤣
Brilliant 👏 🎉
Cheers, Andrew! 😃🙏
Great character Transom.
😂
Snatched in yer own suitcase.
Spaced or co-operate!?
Lol.
Cheers, CPD! Oh, man. As my dad would say, he's a real piece of work 🤣
Excellent story, Thank You.
So glad you did this!
Thanks, Lizz! Enjoy 😃
Merry Christmas, Mr Rowe.
Thanks, Tyotypic! To you as well 🎄✨😃
fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! misfits volume one in eprint for eight quid. i'm getting that so i can read it when i'm on the bus. so happy
Thanks, Patrick! 😃
Great bunch of stories. Thanks for the Christmas present. 👽👽👽👍👍👍🌠🌠🌠🌠🌜🌜🌜🌜
Thanks, Thom! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
God damn AMAZING listen. I drive all day for work and it's made my time fly by.
Recommended to my son and hes now hooked 👍Part 2 ASAP Please 🙏
Thanks, Greg! So glad to hear it. That's what it's all about! Part 2 is ongoing. We're 2 episodes deep into Season 2 so far with another scheduled for Thursday!
Thanks for spreading the word 🙏😃 and keeping the world moving 🚚
@RoweLit Thanks for the reply
Are your other short episodes connected to the main story?
Sorry if it's a basic question but I literally dropped on to Misfits and listened blind and have no other info
Sure thing, Greg! Thanks for asking. Yes, there are definitely other Misfits-related stories on the channel. In fact, this Thursday's story, the most recent, "Deep Space Assassin," crosses plotlines with Ch. 10 from the Misfits directly. There's also a Misfits Origins playlist of stand-alone stories here: ua-cam.com/play/PLWl-Jc_I2wPB5Ac8AZvlVyCNBxaof6Nif.html
The channel does a weekly story on a sci-fi topic, and the Misfits started (and continues) that way. Quite a few other stories that don't necessarily overlap directly with Misfits take place in that universe too. "Lime Harbor" is one of my favorites that comes to mind.
It's a big glorious mess 😂 all still ongoing 🚀
Oh mate you’ve outdone yourself here! Merry Xmas my dude, hope you had a great day.. 👌✌️
Cheers, EJ! To you as well 🎄
Thank you for sharing your wonderful imagination
Cheers, Ploppy! Happy to share and glad you enjoyed!
Thanks!
Thanks, Garfield! Much appreciated 🙏😃
excellent video
Cheers, C!
Is there a list of the related stories in proper order for each world?
There should be a movie after this book ...
Thanks, Gabriel 🙏😃 Maybe someday! For now, though I'm definitely working to make sure there's a book 2 😎 Episode 3 drops today!
I feel this is very good.
Cheers, AB! 🙏😃
Omg its all together im ordering my physical book this week yipppeeeeeee
Thanks, Kath Con! Nothing quite like a book in the hands 😃 I hope they endure in the future. Romans would probably tell us about the glories of scrolls, though 😂
6:53:21
Excellent
Awesome book!
Thanks, Tom!
Omilas.
Nirvana via sustainable war.
Utopia for the few , mediocrity or less for the most.
Facts within works of fiction and closer to reality than most could never mind would consider.
Just back with the Misfits to clear up some of the storyline that slipped by me due to sleep.
Cheers, CPD!
16:23:51
Awesome read! 🎉
Thanks, Doug! Glad you enjoyed it 😃
is there something before this cause im 15 minutes in and have so many questions...?
Thanks, Aya. There's a playlist on the channel "Tales from the West Battery War" that would help give context if you're struggling to follow.
Going to go through this thing all over again but in order Mark. Central California 😂
It does make a little more sense that way 😄
Mark CEN CA @@RoweLitbe thankful you don't have my brain😮
6:26:55 This has me DYING!!😂😂😂
The Murder Mill is very serious business 😆 🤣
@@RoweLit I'm hooked!! Can't wait for the next season! Transom is probably my favourite character and his development is fantastic.
Thank you so much for making this available. I'm going to buy a copy for my friend
Thanks, Hadish! Glad to hear you're enjoying it, and very much appreciate the support!
ty!
Cheers, Kellen 🙏😃
Hey Rowe, is it possible to create a map or something similar to show a layout of the various locations in your universe?
Thanks, Garfield! It is surely possible. I just don't think I'm the person for the job. At some point, though, I suspect it will happen.
I know it will! Thanks for the response.
12:15
Yes yes yes !!!!!
😃Cheers, Chas! 😃
The Misfits would make an amazing movie series/tv show.
I just fear it would be butchered by greedy executives.
Thanks, Crayfish! I guess we'd just have to rely on greedy executives wanting to make the most lucrative series. I'm pretty sure nobody else is going to make it. Not unless there's a different kind of film maker out there for the 21st Century ... 🤔
Yes!
😃✨🥛
Thanks for not using an AI narrator.
Thanks, AquarianDawn! I used one in that alternate universe where everyone has a goatee. Oh wait 😂
@@RoweLit ensign, are you asking for a session in an agony booth?
😮Well, I suppose I am a bit of a masochist 🤣
Fucking Epic!
Thanks, Tim 🚀🪐
ive been reading daily for 40 years and this one of the very best sci fi stories ive ever heard, please keep it coming i neeeed more!!@@RoweLit
@@timlee2794 Thank you, Tim! More on the way 🚀 Three episodes so far this season with number four scheduled for two weeks from today!
Im not seeing any indications on what this is about.
Hi, Cody, thanks for your comment. 😃 I'm not sure, though, whether you're referring to the story itself or to the description or thumbnail? Were you hoping to see a synopsis in the video notes maybe?
That would be nice @@RoweLit
