Sugar6: A Standalone Story in the Vesper Universe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798187095155)

They were the best team in the world. Until they woke up as K-pop idols.

An elite special operations unit is catastrophically injured during a mission gone wrong. With their original bodies beyond recovery, Vesper makes a decision: transplant their brains into six hyper-realistic synthetic bodies originally created as a K-pop girl group called Sugar6.

Designed for pleasure and infiltration, these bodies come with a terrifying advantage - and a horrifying cost. Their new nervous systems are ten times more sensitive than human flesh. Every touch, every movement, every glance feels more real than reality itself.

At first, they fight it. Then the upload begins.

Now, six former soldiers must navigate a world of flashing lights, screaming fans, and predatory industry figures - while trapped in bodies that were never meant for war. As their original identities are slowly overwritten by the Sugar6 behavioral matrix, they must complete one final mission... or lose themselves completely.

In a world where beauty is a weapon and desire is data, the most dangerous thing they can be is perfect.

Sugar6 is a dark, sensual standalone thriller set in the Vesper universe.
