One hundred and sixteen men, women and children vanish without trace. Were the Lost Colonists the victims of accident or of deliberate sabotage?

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
