Remote Man: Difference between revisions

Kate investigates Ned's other leads (obtained in an overheard conversation revealing the full scope of the smuggling ring), making two further international contacts in the process: Cleverton, a teen genius from Kingston, Jamaica; and Yvette, a French fashion expert and amateur historian from the Loire Valley. These five teenagers band together to expose Laana and put an end to his criminal activities, despite their communication being limited to e-mail and underground (or underwater) chatrooms (Note that the book predates Myspace and Facebook by several years).

 

 

* [[Abandoned Warehouse]]: The online equivalent, a disused chatroom belonging to a kelp harvesting company (who are implied to not even know how it works), where Ned and his friends plan their attack.

* [[Frying Pan of Doom]]: Janet smashes the TV with a frying pan during an argument with Ned in the first chapter. The first sign we get of her impending breakdown.

* [[Green Aesop]]: With regard to wildlife exploitation and deforestation. It's not particularly anvilicious.

* [[Multinational Team]]: An Australian guy, an Australian girl, an American guy, a French girl and a Jamaican guy.

* [[One Steve Limit]]: Possibly averted. The photographer working for Laana is named Hank, the same as Laana's brother and former partner in their film company, but it seems the two are not the same person.
