ONE! suffers from [[BondVillainStupidty an irresistible compulsion]] to spell out his or her plan in minute detail, outlining exactly what their goals are and how they intend to accomplish them, practically giving Alex all the information he needs in order to beat them on a silver platter. Seriously, how did these people meet with any success ever?

[[WMG: There will be a prequel following Ian Rider someday]]
He was an accomplished spy, who would have had plenty of opportunities to go against Scorpia, and an ItsPersonal feeling due to their murder of his brother. His raising a young Alex could make a nice subplot. Ash could appear, with Ian trusting him as a bit of DramaticIrony. Even Yassen Gregorovich could conceivably cameo, and clash with Ian before ''Stormbreaker''.

* "Hello, my name is Alex Rider. I'm not even 18 and my life is SO AWESOME that you want to print it. MI6 has a child spy program, like on that kids show, but it's real and I'm in it. My uncle was a spy and he taught me and the housekeeper to do martial arts, skiing and kill people with blowfish. I've been in space, and I've saved all the schools from the Prime Ministers cronies, and I killed this black guy who was turning white. Give me money!
