A thrilling tale that takes place on an island controlled by the elite.
There are mysteries within mysteries and I kept trying to guess what was really going on. Some sections were shocking and disturbing and the overall story had an ominous air about it.
Some of the characters I wasn’t totally into, and at times I did get a little frustrated with what they were doing.
Thank you to the authors, NetGalley, and Sterling & Stone for a copy!

ELEVEN.
Being accustomed to the serial format repopularized by Stephen King, myself loving the serial format of many of the Doctor Who novelizations, I was familiar with the style that authors Platt & Wright were going for in the series they have produced for ebook format. I, also, was a follower of the two podcasts they frequent, The Self Publishing Podcast, and Better Off Undead and expected to read something of decent quality.
What I wasn't expecting, in the first series of WhiteSpace, was one best pieces of writing I have come upon in the last while ESPECIALLY in a serial format.
What starts off with a bizzare horrific incident that leaves a small town and several families scarred soon evolves into a psychological sci fi thriller that is best compared to as something out of Outer Limits or Twilight Zone episode that somehow goes even deeper.
The writers Platt and Wright spin a tale of conspiracy and deception, laced with hints the bitter unknown and plot twists that spin form several directions at once through the perspectives of several of the townspeople and their acquaintances.
Each chapter leaves you gasping for the next and the end of each episode begs you to read the next. If you love thrilling character pieces that leave you totally shocked at the end of each chapter with a cliffhanger that is comparable only to the best of today's television programming, I would recommend WhiteSpace: Season One to absolutely anyone.
I only rate it 4/5 because there are occasional typos, but in the view of this reader, I look past each one of them because no misspelled word was going to stop me from finding out what was happening on Hamilton Island.

I'm kind of going back and forth on this one.
I really enjoyed it, but I'm not ready to take the plunge into book 2 yet.
The book is super fast paced, with short chapters that keep you reading. I also liked our characters - most of them - and found myself worrying for them.
However, some of the clues of what's really happening aren't really appealing to me.
I've downloaded the sample for book 2, but it's kind of an 'I'll get to it when I get to it' thing.
But I did enjoy the read and found it entertaining.

White Space (Season 1) is a compilation of episodes 1-6 of the sci-fi/thriller by Sean Platt and David W. Wright. I loved the serial style of this one which make it feel like watching episodes of a tv show. The mysterious plot hooks you right away. Trigger warning for school shootings. The story itself is told across multiple POV (quite a few) and gives glimpses also into some past events. I really enjoyed this chilling, fun to read story and am looking forward to reading Seasons 2 and 3.

White Space was a book I came across by accident and I was so glad I did! Trigger warning: the book centres around a school shooting and its aftermath; how all the individuals and families are affected.
Originally published c2012 in a serial format, Season One contains episodes 1-6 (with Season Two covering episodes 7-12). Despite being 11 years old, the book was still so relevant and had a very modern feel to it. I didn’t have any clue about a year this was set in, could have been anywhere from the 1990s to the future but this gave the book an undated, universal setting which the reader could substitute with any timing they wanted.
Some formatting inconsistencies and typos, which were nothing major just a little personal niggle. Ultimately, a highly engaging thriller with sci-fi undertones and a brilliant cliffhanger of an ending.

I don't write a lot of reviews ...
... But this first installment of this series is good, veering off at the end in a direction I didn't see coming. And I'm looking forward to finding out what comes next. I can't give a better recommendation than that. I drop a lot of series after the first book because so many have become so predictable, just retelling the same basic story, changing only location, character names, and the disaster of the week. This one's different, and the fact that it's well-written and well-developed sure doesn't hurt. I hope the rest of the series lives up to this promising start.

I had a feeling I wouldn’t enjoy his book but that turned out to be wrong. I loved the combination of a rich family with too much power and access to state of the art technology while ordinary people were trying to live their lives or act out of character and children mysteriously disappeared (or returned).
A few times I felt like I was reading something aimed at the teenage market but I think this was due to the use of a few words I associate with that age group. I still enjoyed the book and really lost myself inside it a few times. Only downside was the cliff hanger ending!
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free digital copy of the book in return for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-copy. The opinion in my own.
The chapters are short and episodic, with an overarching plot that is just barely touched upon. The readers are left waiting for more much like a season's finale, with a big hook at the epilogue.
Many questions rise during the book: What's truly happening on the island? Why did the school teacher shoot his students? Whats does the Conway family really doing? etc, etc.
There are several POVs throughout with many personalitis and group ages, and it's a book that is easy to follow.

Woah! What an Awesome Story.
WhiteSpace has been on my radar for sometime and I’m so glad I finally took the plunge. I LOVE the serial format and Sean and Dave are definitely masters of the form. So sad that it’s not a thing anymore.
I absolutely loved WhiteSpace, the entire story is amazing. The characters, the creepiness, the setting and world...so completely awesome, it’s got it all. And the ending, holy crap the ending! God these guys are good.
Looking forward to Season 2!

A real brain teaser.
All the way through the first book and I still have no idea as to where the plot is heading. This really has me intrigued.

Wow, what a wild read! I loved every moment of it! I loved the characters and all of the weirdness. So many questions that I look forward to being answers in season two and season three!

This is the second review I have done on one of the 'seasons' by these two authors. I did one a week or so ago on their other massively successful series called 'Yesterday's Gone' after finishing Season two and have since finished the third in the series.
So impressed was I by their style in both the series' as well as their Zombie story called Z2134 that I hurriedly grabbed the next series called Whitespace. I have just finished season one and I have to say I am fast becoming a huge fan of theirs. Their ability to leave you reeling after each episode by massive cliffhangers keeps you coming back for more and more and I can see them gaining a massive following, if they haven't already. The idea to write books in the form of a series is so clever and I am pretty sure it will catch on and become a very successful medium in which to release books, though I imagine the added pressure of having to ensure you don't keep your readers waiting too long after leaving them hanging in the air by some awesome 'Oh my god, I did not see that coming!' end of episode/season will make it difficult to keep up the pace and to keep delivering.
Whitespace is well written (although I did see a few typo's that need looking at) and it focuses on a small island town off the west coast of the US where strange things seem to be happening. Initially, I downloaded the book because I thought it dealt with a school shooting and its aftermath, and although that is the opening premise of the book, it develops into so much more than that.
The characters are well developed and I am sure you will soon have a favourite (mine is Brock Houser) but I have become fascinated by each one and having just downloaded season two I eagerly await to read more to find out what happens to each one.
Twists and turns at the end of every episode with tiny little hints thrown in here and there, you will be kept guessing throughout and then, if you are like me and think you have guessed what is going on, will still be freaked when more and more facts are revealed.
I look forward to much more from this talented duo, who I imagine are madly writing to keep up with the demand by their ever increasing fan base.

Its now 4am and Ive just finished another fantastic addictive read from the library of Sean Platt and David Wright.
I never thought I would enjoy serialized stories being an awfully impatient reader ;-).
But the boys have had me hooked from my first series of Yesterdays Gone and Z2134 and Whitespace has been no exception. I absolutely love the writing style of these guys; but I didn't believe I could find a book better than Yesterdays Gone which has been one of my all time favorite EVER books!
The boys have this amazing knack of keeping you hooked right from chapter one starting with a shocking school shooting and then feeling apart of how Hamilton Island is rocked to its core ; we actually feel that affiliation with the families in its aftermath with more devastation to come. I found every character relatable, believable with enough depth to make sure they bring out your own emotions towards them.
I love Brock Houser his similar I feel in character to our favorite Boricio to all the Goners out there; but a bit more toned down.
I couldn't put my kindle down as Series one sweeps you along through murder after missing person; every chapter immersing you into more complex sinister plots and intrigue...a real must for every sci-fi fan!
Alongside the conspiracy theories, murder mysteries; I love the side romance building between Jon Conway and Cassidy and his strained relationships with his father and brother.
You have everything from murder mysteries, conspiracy theories, deceit, sci-fi, horror, romance and paranormal.
This well written series with its well developed characters will keep you guessing right till the end with yet another massive mother of all cliffhangers.
I think I love this more than Yesterdays gone and that was one if my fave all time ever reads!
If you've never read any books from the boys and you love sci-fi you NEED to read this. Another brilliant another masterpiece where do they get their ideas from.
Im off to read Series Two I cant wait to read more..........

It doesn't get much more paranoid, claustrophobic, or creepy than this serial novel. If you like it dark and spooky and a new riddle around every corner, you will love Hamilton Island and the characters that inhabit it.
Here are the things that I loved about this dark season:
1) The characters rock and are all different. They don't all sound the same. The wide variety of people involved in this story make the story have a ton of different ways to go. I think we have gotten too focused on only having one or two characters in a story, mostly because we can't seem to focus on anything anymore. I have always liked novels with many different characters, and this one has that in spades.
2) The mystery is awesome. I love the idea of some dark-someone pulling the strings of a mystery. This story has that.. You just never really know what is going to happen next, and that helps to build the paranoia.
3) The drama of the individual stories kept me coming back to Season One. I don't want to get two deep into this, but suffice to say that the drama of each individual character in this story is what kept me gong. Without it, you just have a bunch of flat people all trying to figure out who-dunnit. NO thanks. I'd rather have characters I care about.
All-in-all, this is an awesome book by David Wright and Sean Platt. If this is number one in the series, I can't wait for the second one. So, Shooosh! I'm going to check out Season Two right now!

In terms of just plain enjoying the words on the page, White Space: Season One is the best book I've read so far out of the Platt/Wright/Truant triumvirate. It lacks the thrills and chills of Yesterday's Gone and the Invasion series, and it doesn't have a larger-than-life character that sucks all the air out of the room like a Boricio or a Meyer Dempsey.
But a reader would be hard-pressed to find better writing. The story takes off from the very first pages, the plot is fresh and original and the timing perfect as the action ebbs and flows.The dialog is realistic. Platt and Wright are masterful in their use of narrative to drive the story- revealing just enough to keep the reader turning the page but never so much that the reader knows what's coming next.
White Space's characters are as three-dimensional as you or I. John, Cassie, Milo, and the rest are all flawed beings, trying to make sure those flaws don't outweigh their positives.
These guys keep punching out books and I keep buying them. The law of probability says there's got to be a stinker in there somewhere, but I haven't found it. The stories just get better.

I liked this book MUCH more than I thought I would. Even though it starts out with a bang (literally), it took a while, for me, to really get a feel for it, what this was, where it was going, because it isn't really that evident at the start. It's actually a hard book to put on a Goodreads "shelf" because it touches many genres, which for me is a good thing. Makes it much more interesting.
I'm not going into the plot at all, first because I'm short of time and second I don't want to spoil this at all for anyone, all I'll say is that it's worth the time to read and get to know everyone in the book.
The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because for my own personal taste, I found that every once in a while there was a bit too much info. But that's just me. I'm totally looking forward to continue with Whitespace; it's different and curious and dark and nasty and just plain cool.

All it took was one chapter and I was glued to this story. Goddamn, Platt and Wright sure know how to wrap readers around their little finger. Good characters, mystery after mystery, twists and turns, I just couldn't put it down. I am already into Season two hoping desperately that Season three will be out soon.
It begins with a school shooting in an island community where everyone knows everyone. Sounds basic but it's not. Lots of little weird things are starting to happen. There are so many hints and clues as to what's really going on, that nothing makes sense. Lots of theories will be going through your mind and then Bam! the ending happens and all your theories need to be rewritten.
I can't tell you more as I wouldn't know where to start or what might give something away. All I can say is that you should read this!!

I first came across Platt & Wright whilst happening upon "Yesterday's Gone" when I was looking for Post-Apocalyptic fiction and as a screenwriter was blown away by the serialized method I'd never seen in a book before.
I'd heard lots about "WhiteSpace" when reading YG so had take a look for myself wondering if it would grip me like their first book, it did without a problem. They instantly grab your attention from the first page and drag your emotions into the narrative to connect with the characters emotionally, the story itself is riveting & keeps you on the edge of your seat too! The fact Sean Platt follows me on Twitter & chats regularly doesn't hurt either haha!
Can't wait for Season 2!

What a great story! I wasn't sure about the whole school shooting start because it is very emotional for me. However, the idea of talking to the shooter beyond the grave to figure out why he did it completely drew me in. I can't get enough of these guys! Only down side was the number of errors with the writing. If you guys need an editor, I am available and would love the job!

Wow. Another great series by Sean and David
This story kept me engaged, intrigued and invested. It ended in a cliff hanger that has you saying to yourself "WTF?". I'll definitely move on to season 2. Like almost everything written by this team, this is a great story that unfolds at a speed that will keep you addicted.

As a huge fan of the Yesterday's Gone series, I saw this offered at a discount and went for it. I am very happy I did. The authors have again pulled me into their serialized fiction with ease. They deliver a page turner that left me wanting to finish all other seasons of White Space.

Whitespace is a great 'small town with a secret' type story. It has a lot going on, mysteries within mysteries. It feels a bit like a 1950s sci-fi movie (in a good way). Looking forward to reading season 2.

I liked it at first, the mistery and the theme. But no answers.. absolutely no answers af the first season.
If this was a TV show I would have been pissed and not tuned on the second season..
But I am still reading so it cant be all bad.

A great start to a series. Gets you acquainted with the characters, gives you a baseline of the story, and leaves you hanging, guessing at the end as to what is really going on in the closed off community. Once again, Platt and Wright have the right stuff. Can't wait to continue the series.

Great story. Reminiscent of King or Koontz but better than Koontz and on par with King (while still maintaining originality). Have a feeling I'll plow through Season 2 and be waiting patiently for Season 3.

A good start to a franchise. Definitely want to read more. Once again the "Big Three"(Sean Platt/David Wright/Johnny Truant) have left me wanting more. I strongly recommend any book that comes from the minds of one ore more of the above mentioned authors. You simply cannot miss.

Awesome book....loved it. These serialized novels are so very addicting.

Loved this BUT I'm reluctant to continue with Season Two until I see that there are at least plans for a Season Three or a resolution of some sorts.
