Ghosts of War picks up the story a month after the end of Ghosts of Manhattan. New York City is
being plagued by a pack of ferocious brass raptors - strange, skeleton-like creatures with bat-like
wings that swoop out of the sky, attacking people and carrying them away into the night. The
Ghost has been tracking these bizarre machines and is close to finding their origin: a deranged
military scientist who is slowly rebuilding himself as a machine, and building a weapon - a weapon
that will fracture dimensional space and allow the monstrous creatures that live on the other side to
spill through.
He and his co-conspirators - senators and businessmen who seek to benefit from the ongoing cold
war with the British - intend to harness these creatures and use them to crush their enemies. The
Ghost knows only too well how dangerous these creatures can be and the threat they represent, not
just to Britain but to the world.
Suffering from increasingly lucid flashbacks to WW1 and subjected to rooftop chases, a battle with
a mechanised mad-man and the constant threat of airborne predators, and with the fate of the world
hanging in the balance, can the Ghost derail the conspiracy and prevent the war with the British
from escalating beyond control?
