The "spoiler" is grossly inaccurate and should be changed accordingly. Perhaps the true story that the cannibalism reference is based on resembles what is provided in the spoiler, but in the novel itself Dawes never commits any acts of cannibalism. The closest correlation is that when he discovers that he's been abandoned at the prison settlement, he sets off to get to safety and freedom and comes across the corpse of a fellow prisoner, its skull bashed in and its arm missing. 144.89.185.191 01:33, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
