Bulletproof Angel, the spy novel by CJ Perry — the former WWE Superstar known as Lana — and author Blake Northcott, is out today from BenBella Books. Barnes & Noble lists a November 10, 2026 publication date and marks both the paperback and the ebook in stock. PWInsider, in a report published this morning, said the book was officially released today.

The Lowdown

This is publication day, not a new announcement. The November 10 date has been sitting on retail and distributor listings for months. What changed today is that a major retailer now lists the paperback and the ebook as in stock, and PWInsider reports a release-day signing tonight in Los Angeles. BenBella’s own shop page still describes the publication date only as “November 2026,” and when we checked this evening it still showed some pre-order button language even as its product data marked the title in stock. We are dating the story to publication day.

The Full Story

The official publisher page credits both writers and describes Bulletproof Angel as a spy thriller. Official publisher copy follows Reagan Ashe, a young CIA operative whose first job undercover, set in Russia, has her posing as a mafia boss’s girlfriend to stop an arms deal that would put advanced military technology in a terror group’s hands. When a firefight blows her cover, the code to a weapon the book calls the Skeleton Key is destroyed — but not before she memorizes it. Official copy has her hunted through Moscow, disavowed, and then extracted in an unauthorized rescue by a retired spy she has not spoken to in years: her mother, Bex.

That premise is the publisher’s, not a review. We have not read the novel, and this is a release-day report, not a verdict on the book. Perry is the former WWE Superstar known as Lana; the official cover itself uses the billing “WWE Legend ‘Lana.’” Northcott, in BenBella’s description, is the author of Arena Mode and The North Valley Grimoire.

BenBella is the publisher. A Simon & Schuster product listing for the title, which we could not load directly (the page returned a block), is the official distributor page Dot opened earlier, and the high-resolution official cover we used is served from Simon & Schuster’s CDN. Barnes & Noble’s listing, which did load, gives the publication date as November 10, 2026, prices the paperback at $19.95 and the ebook at $12.99, and marks both formats in stock. Those prices match the range on BenBella’s shop page. PWInsider’s Mike Johnson, writing this morning, said the novel was officially released today and that Perry would sign copies tonight at the Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles, with later stops at Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles on Wednesday and Bookends in Ridgewood, New Jersey, on Friday. We have not independently confirmed those events with the stores.
