Where is Gone Machine?

Gone Machine, the sequel to Thin Air, has had many potential release dates over the years, with the earliest in 2022. However, in 2023, Morgan announced on his website that the book was "gone but not forgotten". Morgan said that he hoped to return to the Hakan Veil Series, but the story he had written wasn't right, and he had moved on to other projects.

When No Man's Land was announced, many assumed this was Gone Machine with it even appearing on websites as the second book in the Hakan Veil Series. This was not correct. No Man's Land is a standalone novel with no connection to Hakan Veil.
