Attitude Adjustment. The Agency Tales, #8

The Numinous Constraint Agency is an extra-dimensional, multi-dimensional bureau tasked with maintaining a balance in the multi-verse in the spirit of a grand bargain called 'The Trinity'. It is headed by a dream-creature called 'Arteus the Faun' and it is staffed by various talented Agent recruits. These are through the annals of The Agency Tales revealed to the author with dream-sendings. The staff of the Numinous Constraint Agency are drawn from the ranks of forgotten gods, demi-gods, mythical creatures of various types, also mortal Human beings who uniquely possess a 'tongue of flame', whom are thus called 'torches'.
Attitude Adjustment tells of the maiden mission of the shootist Bernard Byrne, Findlay McCrimmon and the spartoi Emito to protect Queen Victoria in 1861AD from a paranormal threat in Dublin. They also bargain with a Rat King and battle a River Goddess with the assistance of their new friend Nicky.
