Ghosts of war (Revised edition.)

New York City is being plagued by a pack of ferocious brass raptors attacking people and carrying them away into the night. The originator of these skeleton-like creations is a deranged military scientist, who is also part of a plot to escalate the cold war with Britain into a full-blown conflict. He is building a weapon – a weapon that will fracture dimensional space and allow the monstrous creatures that live on the other side to spill through –and only the Ghost and his unlikely allies can stop him.
