The author has from his word (in his personal discord) essentially dropped the novel because it wasn't bringing in the $$$ like his other novel at the time (Tyranny of Steel) and wasn't worth the time investment. As of late the author has been splitting his time between 3 other novels with the newest novel of his Dead Man Walking getting some focus over the other two at times. I think the author is just spreading his net across different genres to maybe get lucky and make his next moneymaker novel. The work he's been putting out lately has been quite the soulless, shallow, lazy, one minute read, directionless, short af, and slop not worth spending money on.
