Summary "Man-Trap" by Hal Annas is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story explores themes of attraction, relationships, and the complexities of gender dynamics through the lens of a fantastic invention. It revolves around a unique concept of magnetism that affects romantic relationships, serving as a commentary on the interplay between men and women. The narrative follows Jerry Kerran, a self-proclaimed woman-hater who is resolute in his disdain for women until he encounters Joyce Madigan, an attractive neighbor. As they interact, Jerry finds himself inexplicably drawn to Joyce, partly due to a new magnetic force invented by her character, which enhances her natural appeal. This magnetic force operates similarly to gravity, creating a compelling attraction between the two. As their connection develops, they navigate their contrasting views on relationships and ultimately find themselves caught in a force they cannot resist, leading Jerry to reconsider his stance on love and marriage. The story humorously blends romance with science fiction, showcasing the transformation of its characters as they reconcile their opposing beliefs about attraction and partnership.
