The Lucky Three Kings: A Short Future Novel Set Today) is a Norwegian science fiction novel by Odd Medbøe published by Aschehoug in 1969.
[1][2][3] The book is a satire that touches on several current themes from its time, including war as humanitarian intervention, militarism, and the Summer of Love.
The plot is based on intelligent cephalopods occupying the land to prevent humans from destroying the planet.
He spends most of the first part of the novel disguised as a boulder on the shores of the Oslo Fjord while he prepares and later observes the Firibier invasion of the land: ... we must take over before man in his confusion destroys himself and allows our planet to sail dead through the universe.
Reports from Earth give people a view of the conflict with the Firibiers until the homosilioma attack is launched and all communication ceases: On September 10th, a shrill voice finally came over the speaker.
The three astronauts are welcome to return to Earth as breeding animals in a program to save the human race, hence the title De heldige tre konger 'The Lucky Three Kings' (a pun on Norwegian de hellige tre konger 'the (Holy) Three Kings'): At the hospital in Bodø, we have set up a separate laboratory.
In the same way that animals are artificially inseminated, we will have to use their semen, dilute it, cool it, and transport it by jet in small ampoules all over the world.
