Summary "Bear Trap" by Alan Edward Nourse is a science fiction novel written in the late 20th century. The story follows Tom Shandor, a public information officer who grapples with his role in propagating government deception during a time of impending war, and his discovery of a deadly plot tied to the death of a peace-seeking Secretary of State, David Ingersoll. As the narrative unfolds, Shandor's quest for truth compels him to confront the dark undercurrents of manipulation and betrayal that threaten not only his existence but the fate of nations. The opening of the novel introduces Tom Shandor arriving back at a rain-soaked New York airport after covering military news. He is depicted as weary and disillusioned—a propagandist skilled at spinning public narratives that often conceal the grim realities of war. After learning of Ingersoll's sudden death, Shandor is reluctantly assigned to craft a glorified biography that obscures the truth about his work. As he interacts with Ingersoll's daughter, Ann, a complicated relationship develops amid swirling tensions surrounding the truth of her father's legacy. The stakes escalate as Shandor becomes embroiled in a conspiracy that could lead to catastrophic decisions, fueling an impending conflict that threatens global stability. From the beginning, the novel deftly explores themes of truth versus deception, theomachy of authority, and the moral quandaries faced by those tasked with shaping public perception in tumultuous times.
