Star Smashers of the Galaxy Rangers (1973) is a comic science fiction novel by Harry Harrison. It is a parody of the space opera genre and in particular, the Lensman and Skylark se ries of E. E. 'Doc' Smith. [1] It also includes an homage to Larry Niven's Ringworld. [2] It is about two college students, Chuck van Chider and his friend Jerry Courtenay, who accidentally invent a device that can transport them through space, powered by a substance called 'Cheddite', which is created by irradiating Cheddar cheese. Through a bizarre chain of events, Chuck and Jerry, their mutual love interest Sally Goodfellow and their janitor-turned-KGB spy Old John find themselves flung into the far reaches of the galaxy, where they become involved in an intergalactic war that could change the universe forever.
