Seeing as I just locked what seemed like 10,000+ topics regarding small details in Alex Rider books, I thought I'd just make this a sticky xD I know there's a Questions and Answers section of the messageboard already, but I think there might as well be one in this topic to lessen the amount of spam topics that are made...

So, any questions regarding any of the Alex Rider books can be posted here and answered by your fellow members of the messageboard

This is probably a waste of time as far as a question for this topic goes, as I think the only person who can answer it is AH himself.  But I would be intersted to hear other opinions on this.

I know we get the impression through the books that Ian Rider had been training Alex since he was really young to be a spy.  But is this really the case?  Could it possibly be that Ian was sharing the only type of knowledge he had with Alex - type of bonding, doing the only things that he was really good at?  Or could it be possible that he was teaching Alex a lot of stuff to help him feel that Alex would be safer while he was away (they did mention in Snakehead that agents tend to fear more for their families than for themselves)?  Or was he really daft enough to consciously create a spy out of a 14-year-old?  Surely, with the knowledge that Ian had of the espionage world, he would not have chosen that as the ideal career for his nephew?  (They did mention in Snakehead that very few agents ever manage to retire...)

I don't know.  I must admit that I do find Ian Rider's motives for teaching Alex what he knows a bit overlooked.  I would love to know if there is more to that.  After all, it wouldn't be out of character for MI6 to be manipulating this into getting Alex to work for them.

Any thoughts?
