Ghosts of War picks up the story a month after the end of Ghosts of Manhattan. New York City isbeing plagued by a pack of ferocious brass raptors - strange, skeleton-like creatures with bat-likewings that swoop out of the sky, attacking people and carrying them away into the night. TheGhost has been tracking these bizarre machines and is close to finding their origin: a derangedmilitary scientist who is slowly rebuilding himself as a machine, and building a weapon - a weaponthat will fracture dimensional space and allow the monstrous creatures that live on the other side tospill through.He and his co-conspirators - senators and businessmen who seek to benefit from the ongoing coldwar with the British - intend to harness these creatures and use them to crush their enemies. TheGhost knows only too well how dangerous these creatures can be and the threat they represent, notjust to Britain but to the world.Suffering from increasingly lucid flashbacks to WW1 and subjected to rooftop chases, a battle witha mechanised mad-man and the constant threat of airborne predators, and with the fate of the worldhanging in the balance, can the Ghost derail the conspiracy and prevent the war with the Britishfrom escalating beyond control?
