Description
Ullr Uprising, spelled with the double l, comes from the magazine Space Science Fiction of February and March 1953. H. Beam Piper's story ran in two parts, illustrated by Orban. A headnote jokes about the heathen geeks who wear no breeks, warning that on Ullr both red and yellow mean danger and blood.
Part one opens aboard an armor-tender riding a contragravity field above Niflheim. That world's air is free fluorine, its river hydrofluoric acid, and no human has ever breathed it and lived. Men mine uranium there inside power-driven armor. The companion record in this set carries the later book edition, spelled Uller, with its own publishing history.
