Thanks to everyone who's responded on and off-list. Some useful tips and
provocative ideas.
I probably should have specified that the novel in question is a young
adult sf book - resembling an early Heinlein YA book, to borrow the
comparison Poul Anderson offered of our 1999 YA book, STUCK IN FAST FORWARD
(only published in Australia, goddam it). Characters aged around 15/16. I
don't know if this will help or hinder, given that plenty of net users must
be that age themselves, and anyway I still enjoy reading Heinlein
juveniles. But those kids might not have instant access to credit cards (or
am I way out of date, so, like, this morning?).
