N2  - "The Impossible Pirate" by George O. Smith is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story follows Lieutenant Jeffries of the Solar Police as he embarks on a seemingly impossible mission to capture the infamous space pirate known as Black Morgan. Set in a futuristic world where space travel has become commonplace, the book explores themes of ingenuity, technology, and the nature of crime in an advanced society.  The narrative begins with Jeffries being assigned to investigate the elusive Black Morgan, who has managed to successfully commit acts of piracy in the depths of space, against all logical and scientific reasoning. Despite being faced with insurmountable odds and failing in his initial mission, Jeffries becomes obsessed with uncovering the pirate's true identity and methods. As he delves deeper, he discovers that Black Morgan may not be the impossible figure he assumed but is instead a clever illusion created by advanced technology. Ultimately, Jeffries employs his skills and determination to decode the mystery of Morgan's operations, culminating in a confrontation that reveals the truth behind the legend and allows him to regain his standing as a respected officer.
