Brian Kaufman's Reviews > Damaged: A Tyler Zahn Prequel

Tyler Zahn is a Damaged man. He’s a military vet, haunted by command decisions, his divorce, his estrangement from his daughter and the death of his son. He moves to Colorado and begins training for SAR (Search and Rescue), hoping to stay in shape and perform some useful service while he heals. However, an ecoterrorist plot involving Denver’s water supply will upend Zahn’s search for internal peace.

Damaged is the wonderful prequel to the Tyler Zahn thriller series. Author Cam Torrens manages to juggle the pacing demands of a first-rate thriller with the kind of characterization found in the best literary fiction. The seamless prose serves the intricate plot. There’s not a wasted word in the entire book.

Tyler Zahn is a reminder of everyday heroism—the kind that means transcending personal demons at just the right time because that’s what’s necessary. You’re going to love this book.
