"WhiteSpace: Season One" (Episodes 1-6) is an omnibus edition of the sci-fi horror serial by co-authors Sean Platt and David Wright. This Kindle e-book was a 589 Kb download (approx. 373 printed pages) and sold for $5.99 at the time of writing this review.Please Note: The authors have provided me with free copies of all six episodes in this series in exchange for honest reviews.<spoilers>The story/series begins when the relative tranquility of Hamilton Island, Washington is irrevocably shattered as a quiet and unassuming school teacher shoots and murders several school kids in his classroom. Over the ensuing six episodes we learn of more strange events that seemed oddly linked to the killings.<end spoilers>Some thoughts on "WhiteSpace: Season One" (Episodes 1-6)...1.) a great plot that has a near perfect sense of pace and timing.2.) there are a host of interesting and complex characters that add their own unique twists and turns to this intriguing tale. They all seem to have their own closet skeletons and most have accumulated some unusual 'baggage' over the previous years.3.) told from a point of view that alternates between characters, leaving the readers with many cliffhanger at the end of chapters and the individual episodes.4.) rough and tough, but realistic vernacular... but appropriate for the settings and not overdone.5.) as Season One wound down many situations were left open-ended making for several interesting tangents to explore in Season Two. The ending of Episode 6 was definitely unexpected.6.) my only complaint was with the entire series was that I thought for the finale (episode 6) there were a few too many quiet chapters. Where the action:drama ratio was a little too heavily weighted on the drama side. However that being said, it is a small detraction from an otherwise outstanding series.As it is... 4 3/4 Stars.Ray Nicholsonraynicholsonsreviews@hotmail.com
