The back of Star Smashers of the Galaxy Rangers has the most misleading text.

"Chuck and Jerry, two fun-loving students at an American College, discover a faster-than-light space drive and smuggle it into the football team's plane(1). They, together with the lovely Sally Goodfellow, crusty Pop(2) and lovable old John view with horror a practical joke gone awry (3) as the plane screams off to Titan, a frozen moon of Saturn.

But that's only the beginning. When lovable old John's true and awful identity becomes known(4), a wild battle across and through centuries (5) ensues, catapulting friends and deadly foes into the midst of a yarn spun from the grandest tradition of the classic 'space opera'"

1 - They don't smuggle it onto the team plane, they have free access to it and just borrow it.

2 - There is no character in the book called Pop.

3 - There isn't a pratical joke, they have to do it to save their lives.

4 - John's identity as a communist spy is the catalyst even that sends them to Titan, not his true identity is discovered on Titan.

5 - I have no idea what centuries they are talking about. The whole adventure takes about a week.
