A World Without Heroes

by Dale Sherman

Based in part on both the concept album "The Elder" and the 1978 NBC-TV movie "Kiss Meets The Phanotom Of The Park", both truth and fiction come together as we re-visit the band Kiss from their early days on the streets of New York to their fictional encounters with the magical Talismans, all in a true to life timeline of events.

Inside you'll find the first full lentgh soundtrack to accompany the novel! Similar to that of a motion picture soundtrack, each and every chapter is represented by a carefully chosen Kiss song to follow the storyline. A musical journey re-created by artists from all over the world, this disc makes for a Kiss tribute CD like no other.

100% of all profits from this package will be donated to the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin in the name of the Kiss Army OnLine and in memory of late Kiss drummer Eric Carr.
