Atlantis in Peril (2015)
“Wearing a brown tunic with sea blue arm bands and Greek symbols on the shoulders, he looked like a soldier in uniform—but not a uniform she’d seen before. He nodded, then turned to a heavyset, gray-haired man who was seated in the middle of several machines that filled the wide room.
In a voice loud enough to be heard above the clatter and squeal of the machines, he announced, “Master, the girl with the pie is here.”
Right away, the heavyset man looked up from a table covered with machi...ne parts where he was working. Putting aside a large gear and some sort of tool he was holding, he stood up and wiped his grimy hands on his apron—a rather wide one, given the size of his waist.

The man approached Shangri, walking with a pronounced limp that made him wobble like a misshapen gear.MoreLess
