According to a January 14, 2000, interview with Bookreporter.com, Dean Koontz was quoted as saying "I'm half way through Ride the Storm, the third Christopher Snow story, but another book will appear between False Memory and Ride."

As of 2003, Koontz was still "halfway through" Ride the Storm.[1]

In a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) pamphlet delivered with Koontz' official email newsletter "Useless News", Koontz writes: "The third Chris Snow novel — after FEAR NOTHING and SEIZE THE NIGHT — will be written, God willing, but has been delayed because other ideas demand attention first. RIDE THE STORM, the third Snow, has been cooking for a long time, but it's a delicate dish to develop."

In an interview at the end of 2017, Koontz says that he intends to finish Ride the Storm once he finishes the 7th book in his Jane Hawk series. [2]

As of 2018, the FAQ on Koontz' website says that "there will be the third Chris Snow book; you can count on it, if I live long enough."[3]

On December 13, 2019, Koontz posted on his Twitter page: "I liked the 2nd Chris Snow novel. My publisher didn’t. Maybe one day I’ll get the rights back to the first 2 and be able to finish the third."
