FLORIDA, USA – June 11, 2026 – Dr. Kevin P. Wallace, retired Senior Master Sergeant, Purple Heart recipient, and combat veteran, today announced the release of his debut fiction novel, The Lioness of Cologne, in eBook format. The digital edition is now distributed globally through Ingram Content Group, and will be available for purchase on major retail platforms including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Books-A-Million.
The eBook launch follows the successful first-print edition and marks a strategic expansion to reach readers across digital channels. In parallel, Dr. Wallace and his team are actively seeking distribution and promotional partnerships across the United Kingdom and Europe, including with UK-based retailers, library distributors, bookstores, and reading-focused organizations.
About the Book
The Lioness of Cologne follows Kara Quiverly, a former Marine Female Engagement Team (FET) leader trained from childhood in combat, languages, and espionage. After a brutal mob assault in Cologne on New Year’s Eve, Kara awakens a dormant fury. She hunts her attackers across Europe, uncovering Al-Mawj — a vast human trafficking network run by former Syrian intelligence officers. With help from her three best friends, a Green Beret comrade, and a German detective, she becomes Die Wiedergängerin — the Avenger.
Part military thriller and part trauma recovery story, the novel explores themes of justice, sisterhood, survival, and the cost of becoming a weapon.
