By the time Hamish Hamilton published this first English edition in 1946, Camus had joined the French Resistance and served as editor of the clandestine newspaper \u003cem\u003eCombat\u003c\/em\u003e. The novel arrived into English already carrying considerable weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe story is one of the most widely read of the twentieth century: Meursault, a French Algerian clerk, attends his mother's funeral without apparent grief, drifts into a love affair, becomes entangled in a friend's dispute, and kills an Arab man on a beach in blazing sun — an act he is subsequently unable to explain to anyone's satisfaction, including his own. The trial that follows condemns him less for the killing than for his refusal to perform the emotions society requires of him. Camus described this as a philosophy of the absurd: the confrontation between man's need for meaning and the universe's total silence on the subject. \u003cem\u003eLe Monde\u003c\/em\u003e ranked the novel first on its list of the 100 Books of the Century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis Hamish Hamilton edition is the first appearance of the novel in English.

Commissioned as a techno-thriller at a moment when Rankin was still finding his footing as a writer, it was reworked so extensively at the publisher's direction that he later said it no longer felt like his own work — and he expected it to disappear without trace. The novel centres on a British spy satellite called Zephyr that goes inexplicably dark for three minutes and forty seconds, and on the two men — ground controller Martin Hepton and the sole British survivor of a crashed American space shuttle — who piece together what that interruption conceals. The conspiracy they uncover reaches into the highest levels of British and American intelligence at a moment when transatlantic relations are fracturing and American troops are withdrawing from Europe.
