  Warning: Explicit Content. "Nonstop Embarrassment at the Phony Free Clinic" Series.  “The
  clinic is free…but the price is too high!” So says every woman unfortunate enough to be treated at the “Care One Free Clinic.” In exchange for “free” medical care, these poor women, young and old, pay dearly by enduring spartan conditions, low-end everything, and a lack of privacy that is downright appalling.
   
  
   
  Worse, although there is an experienced M.D. running the joint, a certain Dr. Jesse Langford, nearly all of the “free care” offered out here is conducted by three young, horny college men, including his lonely, touch-starved son, Byron. All are nothing but first-year pre-med
  students—woefully unqualified to be ordering shivering women out of their clothes and into a plethora of humiliating procedures.
   
  
   
  What these poor women must endure in order to save money is appalling—all so that four young men who have no interest in becoming doctors can have the thrill of their lives. It’s disgraceful, disturbing, and disgusting…which, according to these guys, is a very good thing!
   
  In this tale of sleaze and sin, opportunistic restaurant owner Donny Durkin is bringing his three new waitresses, who have recently arrived from Ireland, to spend the summer working on Cape Cod for physicals, as required by the federal government for all foreign food service workers. But since neither of them has health coverage in the States, Donny has no choice
  but to bring them to the CareOne Free Clinic.
   
  
   
  Well, there’s embarrassment, and there’s embarrassment! Upon arrival, the three nervous newbies are immediately instructed to disrobe completely right in front of waiting patients…and himself! Then the shivering lassies must endure the indignity of being examined side by side by a gawky medical school freshman, Byron, while Donny continues to look on! Talk about a mind-blowing lineup!

  The Invisible Girl by Mary Shelley 
  Mary Shelley is widely considered the mother of science fiction, and with good reason. 
  Her 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is often cited as the first true science fiction story. It blends science, imagination, and moral inquiry in a way that was unprecedented at the time. 
  Set on the Welsh coast, The Invisible Girl is a Gothic romantic tale framed by a story-within-a-story structure. The narrator recounts a mysterious legend told by a local nobleman about a seemingly haunted tower on the cliffs. According to the tale, a young woman named Rosina, once believed to have disappeared or died, had lived secretly in the tower and become known to locals as “the invisible girl.” 
  Rosina had been in love with Henry, the son of the nobleman, but due to class differences and misunderstandings, she was cast out and presumed lost. Rather than leaving the area, she secretly took refuge in the abandoned tower, living in solitude and becoming a figure of myth. Eventually, her true identity was discovered, and the lovers were joyfully reunited.

  A Spanish woman trying to retire as an assassin, a French Foreign Legion deserter from Madagascar, a mysterious (perhaps CIA) woman from America, a billionaire military contractor, and a man wandering the seas alone on a sailing ship bump into each other in the Indian Ocean, and not all of them survive. 
   
  Mónica has had enough of her life as a contract killer when she meets lonely wanderer Frank Baltimore in a stupidly expensive resort in Madagascar. A few hundred miles away, Alain has had more than enough of his solitary post on a tiny island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, and so when the mysterious Skye offers him a job, he says yes—he doesn't know if she is CIA, Wagner, Darkwater, or a gangster, but he wants in. She takes him to Diego Garcia, the top-secret United States military base in the middle of the Indian Ocean, for training. Things turn ugly and deadly when a man from Frank's past turns up trying to break into the lucrative, secretive, already crowded world of paramilitary contractors. He, Monica, Alain, and Skye end up on his bad side and turn to each other for help.
