Adam wilsons book on Kaos 13 gang from 1983. Adam tells the story of Kaos 13 the punk street gang i founded in 1983. Its a great read. With charicters like Payaso, RJ, Thumper. The tragic but comical story of Hollywood punk rock in the early 80s. After Kaos 13 i started the punk band False Alarm wich featured Fat Mike of NOFX & Cheetah Chrome of the Dead Boys. There are many honerary members of KAOS 13 like Cheetah Chrome, Fat Mike, Dee Dee Ramone, Paul Kostabi. Kaos 13 has Chapters in LA,  New York and south of the boarder. Nick Zed , Danny Diablo and Griz are members that exist today and are involved in the arts there are many others like myself and Adam Wilson himself. El Duce of the Mentors was my favoret member joining officialy only days before his death. I hope you enjoy the read.........SAFETY IN NUMBERS BY ADAM WILSON.
