Something about XZ27...at one point a small boy is approaching a group of people and they have meat cooking over a fire but he is yanked back at the last minute by another boy who warns him that the meat he is seeing used to be another little boy...*sigh* I read this years ago and I've tried to find it ever since.

The only thing I could find was Brother In The Land by Robert Swindells, which seemed to be reasonably close, with specific reference to "purples" and cannibalism.

Cheers,
