About Damaged: Caught in the Undertow
Veteran pilot Tyler Zahn was the Air Force’s rising star until personal and professional tragedies shattered his life and spiraled him into depression. The lesson he learned? When Zahn’s in charge, people get hurt.
Seeking a fresh start, Zahn moves to the quiet town of Buena Vista in the Colorado Rockies. His plan is simple—join the local search and rescue team, get in shape, and cut back on the beer. He hopes to find a way to be useful again.
An escaped prisoner and a kidnapping unexpectedly thrust Zahn into the fray alongside a local deputy sheriff. As he uncovers a terrorist plot to disrupt Colorado’s intricate water system, Zahn realizes he’s in deeper than he ever intended.
Struggling with his past failures and the danger at hand, Zahn wishes he’d never gotten involved. Innocent lives are at risk, and once again, he’s at the center of the storm. Can he rise above his doubts and save a town, or will the legacy of his past compel him to back down?

Author Bio:
Over a 30-year Air Force career, author Cam Torrens delivered combat supplies and personnel across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. He piloted the first mobility aircraft into Iraq during the Iraq War, served as the United States Air Attaché at the US Embassy in Beijing, China, and spent four years as the Professor of Aerospace Studies at Virginia Tech. Although he graduated from the Air Force Academy, his stint at Virginia Tech turned him into a lifelong Hokie fan.
A father of six, Cam and his spouse live in Buena Vista, Colorado where he serves as the Vice President of the Central Colorado Writers, volunteers with the Chaffee County Search & Rescue team, and chairs the board for the Buena Vista Public Library. He is an assistant scoutmaster for Troop 60 in Salida and will lead the scouts on a 77-mile expedition at Philmont Scout Ranch, New Mexico this summer.
A part-time ultrarunner, Cam has run at least a mile for 1215 days in a row and will run his 8th ultra in Moab, Utah the last weekend in February. Every fall he joins the Flaming Flamingos for a 3-pass mountain traverse from Idaho Springs to Buena Vista—167 miles spread over 30+ hours. In the spring of 2026, he will join his daughter on a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail.
Cam has written four suspense/thriller novels featuring Air Force veteran and Search & Rescue volunteer Tyler Zahn. Stable and False Summit were released in 2023 and both have briefly held number one spots in Amazon rankings. The third Tyler Zahn novel, Scorched, released this year on August 29th. A prequel, Damaged, is under contract for release in February 2025. Number five in the series, Havoc, releases in December 2025. Watch for #6, Hidden Lines—a story set on the Arkansas River—in 2026!
