Told in four inter-connecting narratives from the mid 50s through the early aughts, The Chaos Agents explores the impact and implosion of Saffron, a mid-century musical phenom lead by Baron Templeton & Edmund Hammond – whose breakup is the stuff of legends. From a small British town in the 50s, to young brothers struggling with the grit of NYC in the 70s, to two camp counselors falling in love to a backdrop of 90s rock, to a secluded cabin in the early aughts where the offspring of Edmund Hammond finds himself blocked, each decade gets closer to the shocking revelations of how they’re all connected - and whether they can ever be unbound. In The Chaos Agents, F. Fox North has written a queer, fictional Behind the Music for readers who enjoyed Daisy Jones and the Six, A Visit from the Goon Squad, or even The Ground Beneath Her Feet.

Baron Templeton and Eddie Hammond once formed the backbone of the greatest band of all time. Then, they broke up. But somewhere in between - amid social change and songs, worries and wives, cats and children - they shared an illicit love affair whose impact would reverberate across history. In this series of interconnected short stories that are searing, sexy, and, above all, tender, F. Fox North returns to the world of Saffron to tell the secret history of two men that the world wanted to tame - but ultimately never would.

She was Matthew Hammond’s best-kept secret. But this Christmas, the world, the Saffron kids, and his sisters are going to learn about Baron Templeton’s firecracker of a daughter in this Amazon exclusive e-book short.
