What luck! I'm on the judging committee for this year's Prometheus award.
(Libertarian Science Fiction and Fantasy for those of you not in the know.)
Is this by chance a somewhat libertarian story? (You did mention Marooned in
Realtime, which won a Prometheus in 1987 according to
http://lfs.org/awards.htm.)
If so, I can recommend it to the committee chair, who will chase down the
publisher (Tor already has the majority of this year's nominees) and request
review copies for us. I'd get a free copy, and you'd get a chance at a
prestigious award.

PS. I'm also an officer and a board member of the LFS, so if you want you can
consider this advertising: I recommend LFS as a way of keeping up with
libertarian-themed science fiction.
